Ahead of the Curve: 2023's Must-Attend Proptech Conferences
According to the “2023 State of the Meetings Industry” report from Knowland and Conference Direct, live attendance at conferences approached 80% of 2019 levels.
Factors such as seamless travel, micro-mobility, safety, hygiene, and regional characteristics were significant motivating factors, according to Future Meeting Space (FMS) research.
Despite the benefits of virtual experiences, in-person real estate technology events are attractive because of the ability to generate buzz, inspire new ideas, and provide opportunities that can only be realized through face-to-face encounters. Many conference planners have demonstrated a meaningful social commitment to inclusion and equity.
This year, real estate technology conferences have a broad array of local, regional, national, and international options for every industry member, sponsored by leading real estate organizations and media companies. We hope that our list will help you prioritize your travel and event calendar for this year!
