    REtechSouth 2010

    I had the pleasure of attending REtechSouth, the largest real estate technology conference in the Southeast, and meeting coordinators Matt Fagioli and Brad Nix earlier this year. The Atlanta based event provides workshops and promotes attendee engagement on several subjects. Speakers covered general industry trends with a focus on technology and the event created an environment where attendees could provide feedback directly to vendors on product improvement. Of course there was also lots of networking and socializing.

    The 2010 event is scheduled for March 26th and 27th with tickets available for purchase now. We will provide more detail about the event as it gets nearer.
