After cancelling its real estate technology conference last year due to the coronavirus, the National Association of Realtors is bringing it back, along with its main event: a head-to-head contest in which startups compete for a cash prize.
The 1.48 million-member trade group’s third annual Innovation, Opportunity & Investment (iOi) Summit will be held August 17 and 18 at the Sheraton Dallas Hotel in Dallas, Texas. The event is best known for its “Pitch Battle,” a contest hosted by NAR’s for-profit investment subsidiary, Second Century Ventures, in which aspiring real estate tech startups vie for $15,000 in cash and the attention of venture capitalists and others who could help them make a splash in the industry.
