AND THE WINNER IS …
A few weeks ago, I enthusiastically attended the 20th annual National Land Conference in San Antonio. Not only was this year the fifth consecutive best-ever in terms of attendance, but it was also the first sell-out. For me, the highlight of the National Land Conference is the APEX Awards, which The Land Report has proudly sponsored since their inception.
This year’s APEX Awards welcomed 299 applicants with combined sales of more than $9 billion. In case you’re wondering, that translates to more than 2.3 million acres of land sold. Do yourself a favor and check out the full list of award winners here.
