More than 800 brokers attended the event, which included a keynote speech on major technology trends from 1871 CEO Howard Tullman. Leadership and motivational speaker Terry Watson delivered a speech about some of the tactics real estate professionals can use to create a strong client connection, while Spartz Media CEO Emerson Spartz provided tips to drive viral social media content and word-of-mouth business.

The event also included a full schedule of training and educational classes and the @expo hall, which featured exhibits from @properties’ marketing departments and preferred vendors; life-size chess and Connect 4™ games; massage stations; an art installation by Chicago artist Hebru Brantley; Instagram photo booth; and a giant Lite Brite™. The theme of this year’s expo was “Love – How We Connect,” highlighting @properties’ love multimedia campaign.

“This is one of the most important events @properties puts together every year because it showcases all the resources we offer and how we’re constantly evolving and growing as a company,” said @properties co-founder Michael Golden. “We had some incredible speakers this year and also gave our brokers a sneak peek of many exciting things to come.”

“We always strive to make each Expo better than the last. It’s a great opportunity for our brokers, staff and vendors to connect, and have a lot of fun in the process,” added @properties co-founder Thaddeus Wong. “We had a great turnout and are so appreciative of everyone’s involvement.”
