SPARKt Chicago Technology Conference

Today I had the opportunity to speak to a phenomenal Chicago organization called SPARKt founded by my friend Kit Mueller.  This event has proven to be THE real estate (and outside industry) technology event of the midwest, and today did not disappoint.

For my presentation I was asked to discuss “Rules for a Changing Game” and how social media and other influences will forever change the real estate industry.  Thanks to a couple of highly influential people by the names of David Armano (read his blog here) and Peter Kim (read his blog here)I was able to put together the following presentation.

The Humanizing of the Social Web for Business 4-29-09 – Dollinger

Many of the thoughts and ideas for this presentation came from the below stroke of genius orchestrated by Peter Kim in his whitepaper entitled “Social Media Predictions 2009″.

Social Media Predictions for 2009

As I said in my presentation, I believe that the biggest obstacle the real estate industry faces today is itself.  By looking outside the box to the individuals included in Peter’s whitepaper, I believe the answers are there waiting to be discovered.

(A further discussion of the visual for Online Brand Communication will be posted shortly!)

About

Matthew Dollinger I would like to consider myself a real estate martyr, but I think that's a little drastic.


How I would like to position myself in the industry is somewhat of a "conduit" between agents/brokers and those continually innovating tomorrow's real estate model. I believe that Real Estate needs to ditch the mentality that it's "more than a business" and truly look to innovative companies, (regardless of industry), and learn from them. It's how we will grow and succeed in this marketplace.


I am constantly looking for new partners that share a passion for learning, innovating and implementing ideas. If you have a thought, idea, or would like to share, simply reach out to me.
