Some 15,000 realtors are expected to attend the 87th annual convention and trade exposition of the National Assn. of Realtors, which opens Friday at the Anaheim Convention Center.

The convention, with the theme “It’s a Whole New World,” will feature more than 80 education sessions for realtors, and forums on topics ranging from the latest in computer and business technology to brokerage management, sales and marketing, taxation and legal issues.

“The focus on the high-tech side of today’s business will provide realtors with a fantastic opportunity to enter the rapidly expanding information ‘superhighway,’ ” said convention chairman Chuck Lamb, of Century 21 Lamb in Northridge.
