I'm on 11 00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:30,810 the phone all day long, I talked to these people. And I wanted to 12 00:00:30,810 --> 00:00:32,160 put a face to the name. 13 00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:34,220 Christine Chang: There's no substitute for really one-on-one 14 00:00:34,220 --> 00:00:37,190 interaction. So something like this really allows for it. 15 00:00:37,190 --> 00:00:39,620 Sean Murray: So I think people have that pent up interest over 16 00:00:39,620 --> 00:00:42,830 time. And when we finally put it together, it just exploded. 17 00:00:42,860 --> 00:00:44,690 Attendee: It's been extremely well attended. And I think 18 00:00:44,930 --> 00:00:47,510 obviously, you can kind of tell from the energy that people are 19 00:00:47,510 --> 00:00:49,790 pretty happy to be hear and there's an awful lot going on. 20 00:00:49,790 --> 00:00:51,770 Jeremy Brown: My impression so far is that this is great. 21 00:00:51,830 --> 00:00:54,560 There's a lot of enthusiasm, a lot of interaction. 22 00:00:54,590 --> 00:00:57,230 Attendee: The networking alone, I couldn't even put a value on 23 00:00:57,230 --> 00:00:57,500 that. 24 00:00:57,530 --> 00:01:01,550 It's exceeded my expectation so far, really well attended, well 25 00:01:01,550 --> 00:01:04,010 organized. I think the breakout sessions are relevant. 26 00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:07,300 Shawn Smith: If you can truly connect with them on a human 27 00:01:07,300 --> 00:01:10,210 level and get to know them and know who you're doing business 28 00:01:10,210 --> 00:01:13,180 with and it's worth its weight in gold to have that time with 29 00:01:13,180 --> 00:01:13,420 them. 30 00:01:13,450 --> 00:01:16,090 Evan Marmott: This is just for what we do. I think it's great. 31 00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:19,000 Dan Gans: I think this is phenomenal that deBanked was 32 00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:20,260 able to pull this together. 33 00:01:20,350 --> 00:01:22,720 Sean Murray: and we said let's focus on the brokers, make sure 34 00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:25,480 they're included. They do so much good work for everybody and 35 00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:26,440 we'll call it Broker Fair. 36 00:01:26,650 --> 00:01:28,180 Heather francis: It sold out so quickly because Sean's a 37 00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:30,670 Attendee: The speakers that they had was good, went over a lot of 38 00:01:28,180 --> 00:01:28,810 celebrity. 39 00:01:30,670 --> 00:01:33,070 good topics on what's going on in the industry. I think going 40 00:01:33,070 --> 00:01:34,480 forward, this should be more of these events. 41 00:01:34,510 --> 00:01:36,430 Sean Murray: We're probably going to do a Miami event every 42 00:01:36,430 --> 00:01:38,890 single year. We just did one that one sold out and we're 43 00:01:38,890 --> 00:01:40,450 going to do Broker Fair every year as well. 44 00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:42,640 Will Murphy: I would just say do it. This year was sold out 45 00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:45,580 handful of people that were looking for a ticket online 46 00:01:45,580 --> 00:01:48,730 trying to find another ticket or to buy a ticket don't act fast. 47 00:01:48,730 --> 00:01:51,100 Act now and buy your ticket sooner than later.
