Testimonials:
Here is what people have been saying about this event:
>> Enjoyed it tremendously. And you did a great job speaking and pulling together A-list participants. Look forward to doing again next year! I think Ryan Slack and his people did a great job.
>> Your event yesterday was fantastic! It looked like a great turnout for you, too. The subject of Affordable Housing seemed to be a big issue, it came up at 3 different panels. My favorite part was the Round Table with the building owners. Their passion and straight forwardness didn’t go unnoticed.
>> I sent my top broker and top originators. They came back that it was the best event they ever attended. You should be proud of what you accomplished!
>> I just wanted to thank you for the opportunity to sit on the panel. I enjoyed it very much, and it was very informative. The entire conference was excellent with some very good discussions and networking. Thank you again for the opportunity.
>> I thought you guys did a WONDERFUL job with the event.
>> I wanted to let you know that I truly enjoyed your Summit yesterday. It was very well done, the information and panels well presented and definitely a cut above the typical NY forums. I met many of your wonderful clients and many that are already clients. I wanted to compliment you on a job very well done. I look forward to your next summit in April, 2012.
>> Press mention on The Real Deal
>> I went to the CHIP party last night and the reaction to our event was overwhelming to say the least. It was the biggest topic of conversation all evening. Those who were at the conference said it was the best event of any kind they had ever attended (not specifically multifamily) particularly mentioning the quality of the speakers consistently throughout the day and those who did not attend had heard about it were asking when the next one was going to be and indicating they wanted to be invited next year as if they missed the senior prom. Thanks again for all of your and your team’s efforts to make this event so powerful.
>> Thank you for offering me the opportunity to participate. The Summit was outstanding. It was best in class and executed seamlessly.
>> It was a pleasure to participate in this event. The attendance was phenomenal, and the attendees were engaged throughout the day. I look forward to future opportunities to participate in these events.
