Real Estate Connect from New York City

By:


I am here in NYC at the Real Estate Connect Conference produced by Inman News, and the goals of the many industry professionals who have made it here are focused. Many have been battered in 2007, and they want better results for 2008.
The focus of Inman Connect is clear: Marketing and the Internet.
This morning I attended the Bloggers Connect Program track. The 9:45am-10:30am session was called Beyond the Written Word: Videoblogging and Podcasting. Videos and multimedia are big and getting bigger. Internet users like pictures and video (youtube.com anyone?). The gist of this session was get involved because it is not going away. Of course, there are some legitimate concerns from the realtors and industry professionals who are already busy. How do they do this with very limited time?
Fortunately there is a lot of help out there and companies that one can partner with to get their videos and podcasts cooking.
The 10:45am-11:30am session was the Keynote Address by Lockhart Steele, Founder and Publisher of Curbed.com. His top was The Future of Blogging.
And the 11:30am-12:15pm session was called Marketing Your Blog, and it was moderated by Joel Burslem, Social Media Manager of Inman News, and the panel included top leaders in the real estate blog industry. I have to get back to this afternoon's tracks, but there is more to come throughout this next two days.
Every track was packed to overflowing. I was standing in the back for two hours, but it was well worth it.
