It's hard to believe that REALTOR® QUEST is halfway done! Luckily, the first of two days at Canada's largest real estate trade show and conference was one to remember!
We kicked off Day One with our Spring Annual Meeting, which featured a keynote address from world-renowned tech experts Amber Mac and Marc Saltzman.
The first day also featured some prominent speakers from across the real estate and technology landscapes, including Leigh Brown, Greg Witz, Lynda Reeves, and Fab Dolan.
Closing out the proceedings starting at 4:30 p.m. will be our Make the Connection 2016Networking Event & Cocktail Reception, where guests were regaled with the sounds of Shakey & the Blue Notes and up-and-coming country artist, Augusta Ray, in a relaxed atmosphere.
Stay tuned for a detailed recap of the entire trade show and conference in the days to come. In the meantime, if you missed out on Day One, don't worry, because the action continues tomorrow!
On hand for Day Two, are more great Learning Quest speakers including Luke Williams, author of Disrupt: Think the Unthinkable to Spark Transformation in Your Business who will discuss the power of disruptive thinking at 1:00 p.m. in Hall C.
