The Event
The event included three keynote sessions including; David Meade, a world-class international corporate speaker and performer, who discussed how to find and retain the best employees and how to achieve results in the toughest of climates; learning and development guru Malcolm Smith helped delegates understand how to maintain value during a negotiation; and mathematician and ex-Funds Manager, Darren Shirlaw provided an economic forecast for the next five years, including how Brexit will impact the housing market.
Following its successful introduction last year, this year’s event format included speed sharing roundtables and workshops, each one hosted by an expert in their field. From compliance and innovative technology, to marketing and effective communication, the new format gave delegates the opportunity to choose the topics that they wanted to learn more about.
The event culminated in a black tie Awards Dinner hosted by well-known comedian and TV presenter, Katherine Ryan, who presented awards to the night’s winning estate agents, including the most coveted Agent of the Year accolade.
