Attendees can then choose to attend presentations on the Sales and Marketing or the Compliance Track, as well as the popular Technology Forum and a new event, Meet Your Regulators, which invites attendees to connect with industry regulators and advocates in an informal setting. 

The day closes out with featured speaker and industry favorite Phil Schulman, back from retirement to share his expertise and some laughs with his engaging presentation, “What Do You Mean You Can’t Tell a Joke…You’re in Real Estate!!!” Then, head to the Networking Reception at Puttshack for some mini-golf and refreshments.
