Isn’t it funny how a room full of real estate rock stars can somehow find time between Zoom calls and power lunches to share industry-changing ideas? The Inman Connect New York 2024 huddle showcased the fierceness of the real estate industry while they disco-danced on the skull of the economic downturn.
Attendees used the event as an excuse to share insights over cocktails, chat about the digitization train leaving the station, and debate over whether property tech companies are the new superheroes of the industry. It’s like watching grandma using FaceTime for the first time – mystifying, yet oddly refreshing!
The focus on green buildings was as ubiquitous as neon at a 1980’s disco. You’d think you were at a climate change conference, not a real estate meet-up!
