HOW DOES AN ONLINE CONFERENCE WORK

1. Main Stage with keynotes
We will host keynote speakers live on our virtual main stage with a maximum of 100,000 attendees. Get inspired and learn about interesting topics from influential real estate keynote speakers. All attendees of the event can watch the keynotes live (+ it's recorded) 

2. Sessions: Virtual roundtable
A virtual roundtable with a maximum of 5 table guests. If you prefer to just listen in, instead of participate, that's possible too. Up to 500 attendees can view a roundtable session live.
 
3. Digital 1-on-1 networking
A live video chat in which you meet other attendees 1-on-1 in order to increase your network. You get matched with a person that is relevant to you. In this way, you get to know a lot of new professionals in a short period of time. Each session takes up to 3 minutes.

4. Digital group meetings
A live group meeting with a maximum of 20 people. We will make this possible during lunch and at the end of the day. Specific groups will be made, so you can interact with participants about certain types of topics.
