Viva Las Vegas: ‘Realizing’ a Global Real Estate Convention Unlike Any Other
Wednesday, March 20th, will be RGX Day, a time when Realogy affiliated brands will gather for one action-packed day (and night) of new announcements, interactive and informative learning sessions and high-profile appearances. Themed "Realize," the first-of-its-kind day has been designed to help attendees fully realize the power of the Realogy network, especially when leveraging the company’s scale, technology and data to help brokers and agents boost productivity, drive efficiency and ultimately, become more successful. Realogy executives will be joined on-stage throughout RGX Day by several celebrity guests, and when the general session ends, the fun is just beginning as a chart-topping musical group will perform an exclusive concert for all attendees.
Throughout the week, The Source – an interactive, 90,000 square-foot marketplace – will serve as a hub for networking, demonstrations, learning labs and experiential brand and innovation zones. More than 70 Realogy partners will set up shop at The Source to showcase their industry-leading products and services, including new technology solutions. Additionally, agents will be able to re-energize their personal brands with areas dedicated to professional headshots, bios, makeovers and social media tutorials. Participants will also be able to win incredible prizes, including a year’s worth of bills paid and free yard signs for life.
