USER'S GUIDE
How will the virtual summit work?
The event platform we are using is called Hopin (www.hopin.to). Hopin is a virtual venue with multiple interactive areas to help you connect and engage. As an attendee, you’ll be able to move in and out of rooms just like an in-person event and enjoy the content and connections throughout. The Hopin platform includes a main stage area, interactive sessions, live video, and text-based chat functions, an exhibitor tradeshow to discover innovative solutions, as well as connection and networking functions.
Hopin is easy to use and runs straight out of your web browser. While Hopin does work on mobile devices, for the best experience we strongly recommend that you plan to experience the summit using your own personal laptop or desktop computer. Hopin works best on the latest version of Google Chrome and Firefox. For our complete technical specifications and a troubleshooting guide visit here.
The Reimagining Real Estate Global Virtual Summit is the largest truly global real estate tech digital summit. During the entire time that the event is live, you are able to visit exhibitor booths and use networking features.
Setting up your Hopin Profile
You won’t be able to access the event until 5 minutes before it starts, but you can create your profile in advance.

Event Areas
You can navigate through the different areas on the left side of your screen
Stage
The Stage is where you can hear from the most prestigious C-suite landlords, developers, brokerage leaders, and tech wonders ever assembled for a real estate technology conference. The stage has it's own chat so you can comment along and be part of the conversation. Missed a segment? We will have all sessions available on-demand for purchase the week following the event.
Sessions
Sessions is where you can find a bit more niche-content and an interactive stage. Each session will be set up differently: workshops, roundtables, demos, panels, etc. In some sessions, you can even request to join the panelist on the virtual stage. If you are not camera-ready, you can still participate in the session's dedicated chat.
Expo
Visit the Expo to find the largest collection of commercial real estate technology and innovation companies. Preview their cutting-edge products and solutions that will solve your most pressing business challenges. Every expo booth will have its own chat so you can leave questions or interact with other participants.
