No doubt these things work. I think just the big white tent alone doesn’t come cheap–add in speaker engagement fees and free lattes, damn well better sell some houses.
The sad thing is for those who actually are attending to “get informed”, it’s probably the single worst decision many of them could make.
I like to think that at least a few really figured out some things though. Alan Nevin (one of the MarketPointe speakers) accidentally referred to housing prices as insane at one point. Hopefully, it registered at least subliminally with a few folks…
