Of course plenty of networking 2-3-4 days all day.If you're not at a big brokerage that has a big nationwide conference, go to the NAR event or your state event...normally there is a yearly conference.If your state doesn't have one, go to a difference state....no reason you couldn't go next door.Offer to speak at a sales meeting for various brokerages with your opportunity...Some brokerages always looking for speakers....same with REIAs and meetups.

It was nice when it was time for the speaker to deliver his message, but terrible for networking. 

Thanks to all the amazing speakers and all the attendees who were so welcoming and willing to share.

There's always a keynote (frequently by a different speaker) that's educational, ideally with lots of participation.

Toilets and Tenants is a great facebook group that will help answer local regulations and the person who runs has recurring monthly meetings with guest speakers on local regulatory changes.  

Because we have more of an open format instead of having the meeting dominated by a speaker it tends to be a great opportunity to connect.

A great event with a ton of expert speakers/panelists, and many opportunities to network with other investors.

I highly recommend looking for and attending an REI Network...and not the one's that have sales and speakers, but one that shares their experiences and get's to know each other.Try meetup.com and if you don't find one, start one!

They have a loud speaker on the truck so you can hear them a block away.

You don't know what you don't know of course so a way around all the fees for free information try and find/attend some meetups that host a syndication attorney as a guest speaker.
