Broker IPTV and Real Estate Zealot at this year's Inman's Real Estate Connect 2008
Here it is New Years Eve and I am just itching to get to New York at the fantastic New York Marriott Marquis Times Square. I'm very excited to report that the Real Estate Zealot and Broker IPTV will be at this year's Inman Real Estate Connect conference this January 8th, 9th, 10th and 11th. The quote below is out of context, but I feel it applies to the happenings at Inman. Many of the people, concepts, ideas that are presented this year will trickle down to the uniformed masses at the National Association Conventions 2 to 3 years later!!!!
"It happens every year, one way or another, and every year it gets weirder. And wilder and darker and more intense."
Dr. Hunter S. Thompson
And so it goes at Inman Connect. So Just What is Inman Real Estate Connect?
Well Inman Conncect comes from the founder, Brad Inman. The show is about education, exhibits, demonstrations and a trade hall within a intimate setting. More importantly, no jewelry sales in the trade hall and most of the exhibitors are more progressive than typical Real Estate trade shows. While some critical bloggers claim to be too good to go and that it' about gimmicks and real estate suckers, I feel the most important part are the people and the speakers. The brightest and sharpest in the industry. Up to date and current topic-driven panels with real world hands on workshops will provide anyone who attends with the tools and techniques they need to compete in a
rapidly changing real estate industry.
Why Should A Real Estate Business Person Attend Inman Connect?
Well, "birds of a feather flock together". This is not your Dad's Realtor Convention! I find that the caliber of attendees falls into the higher level of producers as well as top level leadership CIOs, CTOs, CEOs, etc. New York Connect 2008 should draw 1,200 to 1,400 real estate agents, top brokers, mortgage
professionals, vendors,technology company CEOs, directors and managers,
entrepreneurs, press, bloggers, analysts and investors from throughout the U.S.
and around the globe. Broker IPTV will be there getting all the information, interviews and bleeding edge ideas.
People, Speakers, Concepts, Ideas and Strategies at Inman Connect:

I heard a lot of good things about this event and I really wanted to go to it, but I had other things that I had to do that weekend. Since you went to the event, I was wondering if there were any cd's that you could purchase on the event.
