I invited Tod Maffin, David Allison as well as Inman News’ Chris Smith to join myself and a few Ubertor clients and friends for dinner at Wurst.

It was a great night and a great opportunity for everyone to meet and chat about all things real estate. (There might have been some talk of Calgary’s beautiful -41 weather as well)

The conference the next day was great. Very well run, a sold out crowd with a solid line up of speakers. Agents had lots of great feedback about the event and many took advantage of the offer CREB was promoting with Ubertor.

Here are some pictures from the dinner the night before as well as the conference the next day:

It was a great time and allowed us to learn more about what Inman News has in store for next year. Sounds like things are really going well for the crew at Inman and they are bringing back the Agent Reboot events that run across North America, both Connect Conferences (New York and San Francisco) and even adding a new Connect Conference, this time in Paris. Lots happening! If you have not been to a Connect Conference, check it out, always a good time with a fantastic line up of speakers.
