Real Estate 2.0

Flammer Relations is proud to be a Gold sponsor of REtechSouth.
A conversation about real estate technology.

It's happening in Atlanta on March 27th (an all day event – ends with happy hour networking) at the Hilton Atlanta Northeast.

REtechSouth is not a seminar — it’s collaboration, a true conference where great ideas are shared freely. No sales pressure to buy a product, just bright minds sharing new ideas. The conference is focused on real estate technologies, blogging, video, social networking, seo, etc…

If knowledge is power, then shared knowledge is even more powerful.

In just one day, you will see top speaking talents presenting real estate technology relevant to you and your career. These presenters offer real world lessons, timely tips and business solutions you can put to work in your business immediately. We will also discuss the future of these technologies and the future of the real estate industry.

Even more importantly, you will get to share ideas, ask questions, network and learn from each other as well as the speakers. In true real estate 2.0 spirit, REtechSouth is about bringing together the best of the real estate industry and sharing knowledge with each other.

REtechSouth sponsors go out of their way to provide this full day event for you to learn and network with the brightest minds in our industry. Their participation helps keep your registration fee down so be sure to thank them with your business. Most conferences last several days and cost hundreds of dollars.

Thought that you'd find this fun. Hopefully your public relations company's work is a bit better than this. After all, Microsoft even offers spell check on Outlook now.
And with spell check in Firefox, typos really should be a thing of the past!

Let's Get Creative

It has been brought to my attention by Joan Stewart, who produces an electronic newsletter called "The Publicity Hound's Tips of the Week," that the media professionals are not fans of media staged events, like a community ground-breaking. If a public relations agency would like media attendance at events like these, then it must be pitched in a more enticing way. If you offer a tantalizing story idea that is a lot of fun and eliminates the need for a tired ground-breaking ceremony, the media attendance will drastically increase, according to a media relations consultant and professional speaker. This particular individual, Joan Stewart, has begun conducting telephone training sessions for PR firms that want a refresher course on things like pitches and releases. She gives fresh ideas and a different perspective on ordinary PR tactics. You don't necessarily have to hire her, but she does make a great point. It would not be detrimental to spice things up a little and make the traditional real estate events more interesting and exciting.
