Overview
Despite being the first year for this event, and being put together in such a short time frame, this was an excellent event. MetaPropNYC did an excellent job on their side: the right people, the right venue, and the open bar & hors d’oeuvres went over well.
The presentations were insightful and the energy continued to build throughout the day to the point that the “Best In International PropTech” discussion was almost lost to the cacophony of chat in the crowd by the bar. The competition ended and everyone continued to talk until the Altman people told everyone to GTFO.
