You will network with approximately 600 individuals from various backgrounds ranging between real estate innovators, venture capitalists, entrepreneurs, brokers, title officers, mortgage lenders, and many more. 

This Year Will Be Even Better

Based on 2021 attendee survey results, the iOi planning team went to work on curating content and recruiting top-notch speakers. This year’s schedule is a “best of the best” scenario—our goal is to deliver superlative content from the most brilliant and brightest minds in real estate tech.
