2019 REIC ANNUAL CONFERENCE
2019 ANNUAL CONFERENCE & AGM Real estate professionals from across North America spent three days in beautiful Niagara Falls, ON for the REIC Annual Conference & AGM. Enjoying a breathtaking view of the Falls, delegates enjoyed food, networking and unique learning opportunities. We kicked off the event with a welcome lunch followed by IREM Leadership Sessions, where IREM representatives shared best practices and spoke about defining Chapter activity, engagement strategies and leadership succession planning. Attendees enjoyed the IREM Cocktail Social, where they were invited to participate in a unique blindfolded sculpture activity led by Douglas Free, Vice-President of the Hands of Fire sculpture group for blind and visually impaired artists. Day two found attendees learning how to influence audience reaction and behavior with the Pinnacle Skills workshop led by Tina Gluschenko, Master Instructor and Actress. Following the all-day workshop, conference delegates went off-site for a fascinating Journey Beneath the Falls where they had an intimate view of Niagara Falls from different elevations. The evening concluded with a delicious meal at the Table Rock Restaurant, where the falls were illuminated red and white in honour of REIC! At the Annual General Meeting we welcomed the 20192020 National Board of Directors. The AGM was followed by an engaging panel discussion presented in partnership with Matrix360. Moderated by Ryan Ram, Manager, Talent & Communications, a diverse group of REIC Members discussed how they elevate their business presence as leaders and ultimately forge sustainable partnerships that work.
A marketing workshop series was led by NOYADESIGNS, who gave delegates professional advice on personal branding, social media advertising and do-it-yourself video marketing! The conference closed with the Pursuit of Excellence Awards Gala, hosted by Yan Markson, who provided entertaining magic and mentalist feats. Attendees also played Casino Royale themed activities, raising over $1500 for Hands of Fire, and enjoyed the fun photobooth. We are so thankful for the generosity, hard work and achievements of so many of our Members and volunteers. We hope you will join us next year for our 65th anniversary in Edmonton, AB June 9-11, 2020! ď Ž
