Imagine a room full of creative, smart and clever real estate nerds. That is Hacker Connect, where 500 of the savviest real estate tech professionals will convene all day on Monday, January 22, in New York City at the Marriott Marquis Hotel, Times Square to solve problems, share insights and learn from each other.
Hacker Connect will be kicked off by moderators Adi Pavlovic (director of KW Labs, Keller Williams) and Katie Ragusa (vice president of product, Tribus) who will share their top ten trends for the coming year.
The keynote address — “Internet of things: What is next?” — will be delivered by scientist, musician and inventor Dr. Kate Stone. Imagine, for example, a keyboard on your belt or a physical book that renders definitions on your laptop. We’ll hear what’s next with the Internet of things, and what to pay attention to in 2018.
