Imagine charting a course through a landscape that’s constantly changing and shifting around and beneath you. That’s what it feels like sometimes to operate in the real estate industry — there are so many new tools and business models in addition to the traditional tried-and-true methods that it’s hard to know which way to turn … or how to future-proof your business so that “disrupters” can’t target you.

If you’re a regular at Inman Connect, however, then you already know where the competition is going and whether you want to follow their path. It’s the place to future-proof your business, and it features experts from all over the real estate industry sharing their insights and opinions on how to navigate threats and seize opportunities. Inman Connect New York just announced the first round of speakers for the weeklong January educational and networking event, taking place January 22 through 26 at the New York Marriott Marquis Times Square.
