reach
everything

marketing
strategies,
provides
participants

the
opportunity
to
“surround

else”
mentality,

emphasizes
self-improvement.

a
focus
on
a
growth
mindset,
the
summit
takes
on
an
attitude
of
“you
vs.
you”
and

the
person
you
were
when
you

Virtual
Conferences
While
live
events
are
very
important
to
the
success
of
agents
and
brokers,
virtual
events
also
have
tremendous
value.
Accessible
to
people
in
any
location
as
long
as
they
have
an
internet
connection,
virtual
events
provide
many
of
the
same
components
as
live
ones.
Here
are
a
few
of
our
favorites:
Tom

There’s
a

reliable
option.

NAR
NXT,
The
Realtor®

As
mentioned
above
this
fall’s
NAR
NXT,
The
Realtor®
Experience
is
a
live
event.
However,
its
virtual
component
is
a
big
bonus
for
anyone
who
can’t
go
to
Boston.
Taking
place
Nov.

the

no

Tips
for
Networking
at
Real
Estate
Events
and
Conferences
Do
your
research
A
lot
of
real
estate
events
and
conferences
allow
you
to
browse
a
database
of
attendees
ahead
of
time.
Is
there
another
agent
you’d
like
to
meet?
Take
a
look
at
the
database,
and
reach
out
to
ask
if
they
would
be
interested
in
grabbing
a
coffee
or
a
drink.
By
planning
ahead,
you
can
spend
your
time
more
efficiently.
Think
of
a
few
conversation
starters
Not
all
conversations
have
to
be
awkward!
Before
you
head
to
each
event,
consider
a
few
talking
points
to
lean
on
during
moments
when
you’re
looking
to
build
connections.
Whether
it’s
sports,
notes
from
the
previous
speaker,
or
a
geographical
connection,
having
a
few
topics
in
your
arsenal
prepares
you
for
success.
Leverage
social
media
While
social
media
is
essential
for
agents
and
brokers
no
matter
their
location,
making
use
of
it
at
events
and
conferences
is
a
different
—
but
incredibly
useful
—
beast.
Since
people
at
events
and
conferences
often
check
in
or
use
specific
hashtags
to
signify
that
they’re
at
certain
breakout
sessions
or
speaker
events,
don’t
hesitate
to
leverage
that
as
an
opportunity
to
interact.
People
attend
these
events
to
actively
build
their
contact
base,
so
they
won’t
find
it
unusual
to
hear
from
you.
Make
the
most
of
your
downtime
Whether
it’s
time
between
speakers
or
arriving
early
to
see
what
other
go-getters
are
on
deck,
your
downtime
at
a
real
estate
event
can
be
spent
networking.
When
you
have
those
slim
pockets
of
downtime,
do
your
best
to
interact
with
fellow
attendees.
Maybe
it’s
turning
to
the
person
next
to
you
in
the
coffee
line,
or
saying
hello
to
someone
next
to
you
in
the
five
minutes
between
breakout
sessions.
While
it’s
easy
to
get
sucked
into
your
iPhone,
that’s
not
what
you’re
there
for.
Put
your
hand
out
People
will
never
forget
the
way
you
treat
them.
Being
friendly
and
welcoming
is
one
of
the
most
memorable
ways
to
make
a
presence
and
build
connections.
When
you’re
chatting
with
the
people
you
meet
at
events,
be
an
avid
listener
who’s
engaged
in
the
conversation.
That’s
something
people
will
never
forget.
Rely
on
the
classics
While
connecting
via
social
media
is
essential,
don’t
avoid
the
value
of
having
a
high-quality
business
card.
From
the
paper
stock
to
your
branding,
having
a
physical
reminder
will
help
you
stay
connected
t
with
other
agents.
Of
course,
you’ll
get
the
opportunity
and
information
to
follow
up
afterward,
but
swapping
business
cards
is
always
a
great
conversation
starter.
Don’t
forget
to
have
fun!
People
want
to
be
surrounded
by
those
who
are
having
fun.
By
demonstrating
that
you’re
enjoying
yourself,
you’re
increasing
the
potential
for
expanding
and
bolstering
your
referral
network.
Don’t
underestimate
the
power
of
human
interaction.
Real
estate
events
and
conferences
allow
agents
and
brokers
from
different
walks
of
life
to
gather,
network,
and
ultimately,
become
stronger
in
their
field.
No
matter
your
location,
consider
attending
an
in-person
event
in
2024.
Whether
it’s
learning
about
the
latest
research
and
trends
or
simply
connecting
with
other
agents,
each
interaction
you
have
is
an
opportunity
to
learn
from
other
agents,
build
a
referral
network,
and
take
your
career
to
the
next
level.
