Connect NYC 2007 Pre-Conferences

Monday, January 8TH

Inman News takes great pride in producing and planning Real Estate Connect, the premier real estate and technology conference, attracting the real estate industry’s most influential decision makers, opinion leaders and technology experts into an active forum for discussion and debate.

Our Real Estate Connect pre-conferences are created to be concise, yet heavily informative, and are built around hot topics and issues critical to unique groups of real estate, mortgage and technology professionals. New products and ideas are unveiled every year during the course of each conference, and it is not uncommon for attendees to hear about a new idea, product or technology for the first time at a Real Estate Connect conference.

As companion programs to the main Real Estate Connect NYC 2007 conference, Inman News also presents a Pre-Conference Real Estate Broker-Agent Boot Camp, and a Pre-Conference Joint Venture Settlement Services Workshop.
