Day one of the 2020 CREW Network Convention kicked off on Tuesday with CREW Network President Christine Gorham welcoming attendees to the (virtual) convention, which brought together more than 1,200 commercial real estate leaders for deal making, business networking, industry education and leadership development.
The strictly online format was not how CREW first envisioned its conference when it began planning it a year ago and indeed they are hardly alone. But in its opening hours CREW has not shied away from the pandemic and the lessons it has brought home. During her opening keynote session, Wendy Mann, CAE, chief executive officer of CREW Network, encouraged the audience to look back and reflect on the past six months. "There may be 'ah ha' moments for you…What lessons can you take from this as you go back to living forward? What are the hard lessons and silver linings that you can embrace?"
