Here ’ s to another 14 years !
This month we celebrate a milestone birthday at REI . We celebrate 14 years of servicing the real estate industry through our magazine , digital content across multiple platforms and our virtual events . REI Founder , Neale Petersen says : “ We started in that traditional magazine space and have continued to evolve . That was our key business . Covid was actually very kind to us in that we found an opportunity to evolve our business drastically . We were always shifting to a digital business , and now our magazine is completely digital . We have educational resources on every digital platform . From podcasts and videos to virtual events and mentorship programmes with leaders in the industry .”
The 3rd Annual Digitalisation of Real Estate Virtual Summit 2021 perfectly illustrated our evolution and goals within the sector . Striving for improved accessibility through tech and our willingness to innovate and adapt through the use of a never before seen 3D virtual platform . Special thanks to our valued partners and main sponsors , IWG and MRI Real Estate Software . If you missed any of the content from the conference you can view all the replays here .
