The estimated delegate spending is expected to reach more than $5 million. In addition, more than 3,900 room nights have been contracted by convention center visitors throughout the week.
The Triple Play REALTOR® Convention includes 80 educational sessions from top industry experts and explores cutting edge tools to enhance their business at the 325 booth trade expo. In March of 2015, the Triple Play REALTOR® Convention signed a three year contract extension, which brings a combined $15 million economic impact to Atlantic City.

The convention industry has a tremendous impact on Atlantic City’s economy as evidenced by the tremendous impact Triple Play REALTOR® Convention will have on our local hotels, restaurants, retail outlets and casinos each year,” Wood said.
The tri-state event (co-sponsored by the New Jersey, New York State and Pennsylvania association of REALTORS®) is now in its 15th year at the Atlantic City Convention Center.
