In a
world where people are closer to one another than ever before, how will our
industry adapt? When our connectivity is redefining what it means to work for
and with one another, how can agents and brokers make the most of the
opportunity?
There is no better conference
than Real
Estate Connect to
identify, dissect and apply the new guidelines of the partnership economy and
determine what those changes will mean for the real estate industry. Come meet
the change makers, find kindred spirits, and rewrite the rules of engagement
right before our very eyes.
Join me in NYC from January 15-17, 2014 for the unveiling of the New York real
estate tech scene — cool new apps, creative uses of big data and fresh ideas
about how to partner with one another to move real estate forward into 2014 and
beyond.
When everyone has the entrepreneurial spirit, big things are
bound to happen.
Check out the amazing guest
speakers !
