Cocktail Reception
Great Networking Opportunity That Is Fun And Energized!
“We’ve been really pleased with the format and content that the Connect Conferences have created. They do a great job bringing in speakers that provide relevant information that helps educate and inform our commercial real estate community.”
Connect brought together some of the industry’s most prominent leaders.
“It was a pleasure to sit amongst them and discuss some of the main trends emerging along with the challenges we are all facing. The event was well thought-out and I look forward to future ones with Connect Media.”
The Connect Media team has done a phenomenal job!
“Particularly at organizing and coordinating their events. I found that the Connect LA event I spoke at earlier this year was extremely beneficial and educational. They really know how to throw a great conference and connect this industry!”
