RealShare Launches Virtual Conference Series

NEW YORK CITY-Incisive Media’s Real Estate Group, publisher of Real Estate Forum and GlobeSt.com and producer of the RealShare Conferences, has launched the RealShare Virtual Conference Series, starting with Thursday’s RealShare Downtown event. With 14 online events planned for 2009, RealShare Virtual Conferences will provide commercial real estate professionals with many of the same educational and networking opportunities available at RealShare in-person events while reducing attendance and travel costs, according to a release.

The series will kick off with the RealShare Downtown New York Virtual Conference at 11 am on Thursday, followed on April 8 with the RealShare Multifamily Virtual Conference. Attendees will be able to select conference sessions, listen to speakers, participate in Q&A sessions and network with their peers, all online via their desktop computers. Complete details are available at www.RealShareConferences.com/virtual.

Each RealShare Virtual Conference will be structured similarly to the in-person events, with keynote addresses from industry leaders, Town Hall sessions and other expert panels and interactive discussion opportunities. Thursday’s Downtown event, for example, will offer a “chat room” to post questions and have them answered immediately. Participants will be able to click on online tools to attend sessions, ask questions and meet their peers, with simple, intuitive navigation and online support. No special training or technical skills will be required.
