The power of networking events: Building connections, knowledge and opportunities

October 17, 2024 5 min. read

Royal LePage® recently wrapped up its 2024 National Sales Conference in Calgary, Alberta – a dynamic event that brought together over 1,100 real estate professionals from across the country for a week of networking, learning and celebration. With over $460,000 raised for our beloved Royal LePage® Shelter FoundationTM, and a variety of Calgary-themed activities, this year’s conference was a remarkable success! 

Attendees enjoyed a range of keynote speakers and other training and networking opportunities, like our famous speed networking, and valuable breakout sessions providing business growth strategies, insights into new product launches and much more. The conference closed with Royal LePage’s first ever national awards ceremony and gala, where we recognized and celebrated our top-performing real estate agents from coast to coast.

Events like the National Sales Conference are much more than simply having a good time (although there is plenty of that!). They are vital to the growth and success of real estate professionals, serving as a launchpad for building relationships, enhancing skills and creating referral opportunities that can propel your business to new heights.

Building relationships and trust

It’s clear that strong real estate businesses are built on relationships, trust and recognition. Royal LePage events provide a unique opportunity for agents to step away from the daily grind and spend time with their peers from across the country, meeting people they may not get the chance to connect with otherwise. Whether it’s through networking sessions or casual conversations in between events, these connections often lead to relationship building and referral opportunities.

The ability to share experiences and insights with other real estate professionals is invaluable. Each conversation opens doors to new ideas, different perspectives and even new markets. For agents looking to grow their business, having a solid network of trusted professionals is essential.

Learning from industry leaders

Our conferences feature keynote presentations from influential industry leaders and experts who offer insights that can have a direct impact on the success of your business. With topics like using AI to help grow your business, how to work smarter – not harder, plus new product launches and best practices for real estate, these sessions provide attendees with the tools and strategies needed to adapt and thrive in their industry.

Attendees have the chance to dive into the latest industry trends, from emerging technologies to shifts in social media strategies, and explore how these innovations could be applied to their own businesses. These learnings provide agents with a competitive edge, helping them stay ahead in an ever-evolving market.

Recognition and growth go hand-in-hand

Beyond learning and networking, events like our National Sales and Leadership Conferences celebrate the hard-earned success of our agents and brokerage owners. Through our Leadership Awards program, we honour the top brokerage owners, recruiters and managers for their outstanding achievements. Our National Sales Awards recognize the remarkable success of our agent network, acknowledging their upstanding commitment to serving their clients and communities. While the recognition itself is rewarding, the sense of community and shared accomplishments makes it even more meaningful.

The power of being present

In-person events offer something that virtual experiences can’t replicate – the power of being present. The energy, spontaneous conversations and real-time connections foster a sense of community and belonging that enhance both personal and professional growth. Those who attend these events position themselves to learn, share and grow, ensuring that their business is not only profitable but also well-connected.

For those looking to expand their network, grow their business and stay at the forefront of the industry, Royal LePage events are an essential component of success. From informative sessions to networking opportunities with top professionals, the benefits are unmatched!
