Real Estate Connect… I Connected!
While many people attending the recent Real Estate Connect conference in San Fransisco went home and instantly started Blogging, I have been busy implementing every little nuance of many different topics. Several people have written about being on overload… Brian Boero from 1000Watt Consulting gave a great review. Although I am sure being a presenter, he was more inundated than the average spectator. It was still an information smorgasbord! Brian was very good, check out his video at www.inmannews.com.
Impressive content was my first thought in reviewing the conference program, but I wanted to reserve full judgment until after attending some of the sessions. Topics and titles can be deceptive; many times not reflecting what the speaker actually talks about! Craig Newmark the Founder of www.craigslist.org was one of my favorites. I hadn’t heard him speak before. He is educated, informative, rather funny and appears to be humble. As a small business owner I am constantly studying the markets, trends and technology associated with the many industries we deliver product to. I value what other successful people have to say and appreciated the diversity in the panelists.
My respect goes out to Brad Inman, who I met and had the pleasure of speaking with casually. He orchestrated a conference well worth the money spent to send several people and even more importantly worth my time! The sessions were relevant to future expectations and packed with visionary people. They were certainly eclectic enough to satisfy most entrepreneurs as well as the 10% of movers and shakers in any given industry, especially Real Estate!
In analyzing the crowd, I was amazed that the several thousand people who attended, were the ones who tilled the soil, planted the seeds and left spreading the news. Which in essence had watered the ideas and brought them to the masses! What a difference a few people can make to create change!
