The Future Of Real Estate Tech: How We Got Here And What's Next In An Exploding New Ecosystem

http://bit.ly/RETech3

Love the reference to the "Exploding New Ecosystem" in the Forbes guest contribution above because it speaks to the question at the heart of #RE2020: "What will the real estate ecosystem look in the year 2020?

That question will attract different responses from #REStartUps working on sustaining vs disruptive innovations, but #RE2020's goal is to deliver $30 billion annually in consumer savings as reflected in our response to the article via Twitter:

Let's continue the discussion below and at upcoming events. Here's a quick overview of selected events in the pipeline, watch for more detail and share / propose your own events on Loomio:

    https://www.knowidentityconference.com/hackathon/

  5. 4/2-3/18: 25th Anniversary of Consumer Revolution in Real Estate
    If consumer advocates & innovators have been talking about a revolution for 25+ years, why is real estate still the sleeping giant of the consumer movement? Can RE2020 extract lessons -- #SmartFailing-style -- by revisiting the sessions listed on the original agenda from this two-day event in 1993? Watch for podcasts, guest retrospectives, maybe more than one housing / real estate hackathon or unconference and Follow #ConsREv25 before the Realtors arrive in Boston for their annual convention, Nov. 2-5.

  6. 4/24-27/18: Boston Blockchain Week
    Fourteen events (and more forthcoming) from an extraordinary list of partners. Should RE2020 host a blockchain in real estate event of some kind? Let's gather some ideas below and then post a poll.

Thanks for the update John. As a consolation, hope fellow RETech innovators are tuning into MIT's Faculty Forum session on blockchain online for another 25 minutes or so.
