Picture a group of attendees actively involved in a workshop session: First they are asked to come up with some ideas based around the workshop topic. The room surges with energy. Voices spill over each other. Participants introduce themselves and eagerly share the strategies they have already used in different business situations and toss new ideas back and forth.
Can you picture it in your mind? We can, and that’s why this year’s The BIG e Conference is all about providing our attendees with workshop sessions that are interactive and focus on working together. We want YOU actively involved!
At The BIG e Conference, you will be given the chance to be an active participant in your education. We want you to share your expertise. What better way than to learn from the experiences of your peers? The BIG e workshops will help you build on that reservoir of knowledge, to create practical solutions that you can apply to the problems you face on a daily basis in the world of real estate.
