The RE.net is abuzz about this week’s Inman’s Real Estate Connect in New York, but the coming week owns an embarrassment of trade show riches.
Also on tap this week: The Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas.
And, best of all: The Macworld Conference and Expo in San Francisco.
These are all basically vendor shows, despite the hype — or, rather, in support of the hype. The big news will come from Apple, of course, and much of the ‘news’ coming out of the other two shows will be fun to make fun of. I get no end of mileage out of the goofy crap corporate weenies try to foist off on long-suffering Realtors.
We’ll be here, taking it all in, of course. But mainly we’ll be here working. This is the first selling weekend in the New Year. We’re showing. We’re listing. And we’re not wasting the precious time of a finite life. Fun is fun, and, of the three trade shows, I’d probably pick CES — just to be in Vegas. But I don’t go even a little bit North in the Winter, and, in any case, the business of real estate brokerage is not transacted at trade shows…
Further notice: A much-expanded version of this is posted at Inman Blog.
