I’m at my third Inman News Real Estate Connect Conference.  I’ve traveled coast to coast in the last year and a half to follow this Real Estate Connect.  Why have I become a Real Estate Connect groupie?  Because it’s one of the best, if not the best, real estate conferences out there today.  It’s a chance for me to learn about the latest in the real estate industry from some of the top technology gurus in the country.  1000 Watt Consulting is here, as they will be at the Windermere Symposium this fall in the California desert.

It’s also a chance to hear from the industry leaders.  Is the real estate market at the bottom or is there more to come?  On Friday Alex Perriello CEO of Realogy, the parent corporation of Coldwell Banker and others, Joel Singer from The California Association of Realtors, Jonathan Miller from Miller Samuel, Inc. and Patrick Stone, Chairman of The Stone Group, will all give their opinions.

Today’s Blogger Connect, a day in which we bloggers get to hear about some of the crucial issues that affect the blogging world.  Kris Berg of The San Diego Home blog, Joseph Ferrara of Sellsius Real Estate Blog, Seattle’s own Ardell of many blogs, including Rain City Guide, will speak.  Jillayne Schlicke has already written about SF Connect. Of course, the conference started out last night with the all important Beer with Bloggers event.
