Inman acquires Blueprint

Very smart move. I had only attended Blueprint twice, but it was clear that there was a broader world of proptech that wasn’t being addressed by Inman or other real estate conferences and news sites. Blueprint covers a wide range of proptech companies, including innovations in how homes and buildings are constructed. It also attracted more of the venture/investor crowd, with a designated area where founders and entrepreneurs could pitch directly to potential investors.

When I attended the Blueprint conference last September, I ran into Emily Paquette, CEO of Inman, walking the trade show floor. She stopped, said hello, and we talked for a bit. At the time, I thought she was just scoping out the potential competition. In hindsight, with the residential side in such turmoil, it’s easy to see why Inman and their private equity partner, Beringer Capital, were ready to make expand their customer base and make an investment.

Get your hotel room for MLS Reset

I’m still buzzing about MLS Reset. Having attended so many conferences in my career, being able to personally curate the content of an event is a dream come true. I can tell you that Staci, Amy, Chris, and I are swinging for the fences when it comes to speakers and content. We just booked a fantastic speaker that I think will be perfect to kick off the show.

While I can’t share specifics yet because we haven’t nailed down all the details, and we want to keep the content fresh for January, Amy has put together a brief list of some of the content plans. And please if you have any suggestions email me!

There are more updates coming and we are working on our website which will be launched soon.

Also, I was told by Amy to relay a couple things

  1. Early bird pricing end after on October 31st.
  2. The Scottsdale Plaza is notorious to filling up fast. So make sure you follow the separate link on the event sign up page to book your hotel room.

Get ready to push that reset button!

#2025

See you in Seattle at CMLS 2024!

Looking forward to seeing everyone next week. The rumors are true, I will NOT be doing the Industry Update this year (thought I would leave on top). However, I am the last presenter on Wednesday and will do my best to make it worth you staying till the end.

It’s time to Reset

I wanted Vendor Alley readers to be the first to know that the PRESTA team is partnering with my company, Giant Steps, to put on a conference next year. We’re calling it MLS Reset.

When Amy and Chris reached out to us with the idea, I was a little hesitant. Do we really need another conference? But the more we talked, the more excited I got about the opportunity.

We are holding the conference in January 2025, which we think is the perfect time for MLS executives to reflect on the changes that happened in 2024 and reset for a productive new year. We also chose a familiar place for the event: the Scottsdale Plaza Resort.

Our goal is to create something special. It’s still early days, but we’re buzzing with ideas! I hope you will join us.

We’ve set up an Eventbrite page for early bird pricing, and sponsorship information will be coming soon (we will be launching a full website soon). Space at the Scottsdale Plaza is limited, so please sign up early.

See you at Blueprint!
