Event Details
What's the RI REALTORS® UNconference?
The RI REALTORS® UNconference is a free, educational, networking event that's dynamic, unstructured and fun! Sessions are not planned out in advance or delivered by paid speakers. Instead, you and your fellow guests determine the conversation.
Do you have pressing questions about a specific issue? Do you have knowledge to share? Let us know the topics you're interested in now or during our networking cocktail hour and we'll arrange interactive learning groups where you and your peers can learn from each other. The knowledge you'll gain will be invaluable... the friendships and associations you make could change your life and your business!
You will also also be able to take part in an interactive You Be the Judge panel where you can weigh in on arguments about topical issues made by plaintiffs and defendants in mock court. You Be the Judge kicks off a fun night of learning and RI REALTORS® General Counsel Monica Staaf will render a final decision on hot topics in real estate.
The RI REALTORS® UNconference is an RE Barcamp event. Starting as a casual meetup of REALTORS® looking to improve their business, RE Barcamps have grown into a nationwide (and global) phenomenon, so join us to find out why! Have a drink, an appetizer, chat with colleagues, and gain additional knowledge and best practices that can take your business to the next level!
What is the schedule?
The UNconference begins with a networking cocktail hour during which you will let us know what topics interest you - whether to learn about or to share your expertise and knowledge by being a discussion leader. Then, the most popular topics will be the basis for conversational group sessions after a brief, but hilarious, interactive mock court that dives into issues affecting real estate today. After participants attend their chosen discussion groups, we'll reconvene to share some top takeaways.
How much does it cost?
Registration and appetizers are free thanks to the generous donations of our sponsors. Please be sure to welcome them and find out about their fantastic products and services! A cash bar is also available.
