It’s that time of year again: Inman Connect New York, our parent company’s annual gathering of real estate professionals and tech experts, is underway this week at the Marriott Marquis hotel in Times Square, from Jan. 28-Feb. 1.
Inman Connect New York 2019 is the biggest and most ambitious iteration of our East Coast conferences yet, drawing more than 250 speakers to Manhattan to discuss the state of residential real estate and how to succeed in an increasingly technologically driven industry, including Realogy CEO and president Ryan Schneider, Nextdoor CEO Sarah Friar, Redfin’s chief economist Daryl Fairweather, Nest Seekers broker and Million Dollar Listing: New York star Ryan Serhant and many others. Find all the speakers here.
More than 4,000 attendees from around the world are joining us to learn about the significant trends impacting the business today and in the future, such as the rapidly shifting national housing market, artificial intelligence and machine learning, the rise of Amazon Alexa and other smart voice assistants, the growth of online cash homebuyers a.k.a. iBuyers and more.
If you’re an Inman Select subscriber, you can watch many of the sessions live here on sandbox.inman.com/livestream starting Jan. 29.
We invite all attendees to share their experiences in the Inman Connect app (available on Apple App Store and Google Play) and on social media using the hashtags #ICNY and #ICNY19.
The Inman editorial team will be covering all the proceedings live from New York right here on our website. Check Inman.com for the latest articles from the conference.
