This year's T3 Summit kicked off Wednesday evening in Las Vegas with a chat between host Stefan Swanepoel and Zillow CEO Spencer Rascoff. Day two of the conference offered attendees a whirlwind of panels and star presenters, NAR CEO Dale Stinton, new CMLS CEO Denee Evans, Redfin founder Glenn Kelman, and more.
Even our own CEO (and WAV Group partner) Victor Lund got in on the action during a panel called "Redesigning the MLS." The roundtable with experts Ann Bailey, Gregg Larson, Rob Hahn, Jeremy Conaway, and Ken Jenny touched on initiatives like the Broker Public Portal, Project Upstream, and more.
To follow the action as it happened, we took to Twitter and followed the official conference hashtag. Below, you'll find a collection of the best tweets, expert quotes, and words of wisdom from the conference (so far). To see the event's itinerary, click here.
