WHAT IS THE INDUSTRY SAYING ABOUT THE VIRTUAL EXPERIENCE

The feedback shows that real estate professionals are adapting to and very surprised at their overall experience with virtual Forums and conferences and the thought leadership, market intelligence and networking value and benefits.


COMMENTS ON REAL ESTATE VIRTUAL EVENT SPACE:
  • "The technology was amazing. There were games, networking, breakout rooms a database of important information. I don't think I even found all of the features that were available. It really was very good and I would prefer to have had a tutorial to learn where things were and how to access them a week before the next event."
  • "Great conversation. Virtual experience was great. I did not have any expectations of how the virtual experience would play out but it was great and didn't feel like I missed out on anything compared to the in-person."
  • "Great organization for an online event, very impressed with the platform. Well-structured with supporting visual. Overall great experience and looking forward to next year."
  • "Technology was excellent, well prepared and executed."
  • "Loved the online format. I attended far more sessions than I would have, had the conference been in person. Also, I felt more engaged with the speakers - being able to see them up close, rather than on a small screen while sitting at the back of a large room."
