One of the things I love about being the Community Manager here at Inman News is that I get to see first hand the creativity and overall "coolness" of our members. Just the other day, Stephen Jagger, who I met at Connect San Francisco, and who will be speaking again at Connect NYC '09, sent me a video he made as part of a blog post he wrote about Connect NYC '09.
Stephen is excited not only about being a speaker at Connect NYC this year, but also about seeing one of our Keynote speakers, Gary Vaynerchuk. Stephen has worked with Gary personally before, and he had some great things to say, so check it out:
Stephen is going to be at Connect NYC '09, and so will a whole bunch of other cool, interesting, intelligent, and insightful professionals. will You be there?

Wow, Gary is keynoting everywhere these days.
It looks like this video was done with a phone, which one was it?
The lighting is good and the quality is good, but if you could have mounted it on something like a tripod it would have made it just that much better.

I am not very excited about the theme this year. With our industry in the U.S. going through such fundamental changes right now, talking about international real estate markets and companies doesn't seem too applicable or relavent.

@Brian Wilson
While we are sprinkling the "Global" flavor throughout the conference in January, the focus is still very much on what agents and brokers can do right now to understand and survive the current economic downturn. Our two keynotes so far, for instance, reflect that emphasis.
But we also realize that this industry, along with many others, is being dragged into a global arena -- driven in large part by technology. I don't think we should dismiss that aspect as irrelevant as it is, in my opinion anyway, all interconnected.

Joel, it will be interesting to see how non US technologies are affectding the average U.S. Realtor. Besides maybe Point2, I cannot think of any from Europe or elsewhere that the average realtor or broker runs into or uses on a typical day.
From the perspective of real estate technology companies like listing sites, the consumer market is entirely different overseas in terms of monetization options, that those comparisons would not seem very relavent either.
I'm not saying that what happens in the U.S. is all that matters in the world. It's just that with all the brand-new stresses on our domestic industry today, the topic of how foreign companies engage foreign customers with different business models seems overcome by events.
