community, and Institute faculty members Steve Harney and Matthew Ferrara, all leading

“We applied our 2011 conference theme of „Engage. Innovate. Lead‟ quite literally to develop a
program that inspires our members to compete at a higher level, create better ways to connect
with consumers, and generally raise the bar in the real estate industry,” notes Leading Real Estate
Companies of the World® President/CEO Pam O‟Connor. “Ongoing shifts in the housing
market, technology and the way people communicate make it essential for real estate
professionals to continuously build their competence. This annual showcase event brings
together the best minds in the business to do just that.”
