NAREE2020 Virtual Conference - Serious Content with a Casual, Friendly Vibe

Updated Dec. 11, 2020

President’s Notebook

By Catie Dixon, Bisnow Managing Editor

Missing your newsroom? Join NAREE’s virtual one next week!

Though moved online, NAREE’s annual conference Dec. 9 and 10 provided connections to other real estate journalists, with speed networking and virtual lounges and the morning coffee conference start sessions both days. It was great to see peers on scree. The plus side of a virtual conference: attendees could wear sweatpants and slippers.

The real estate content was geared to journalists covering commercial and residential real estate.

The conference was free for practicing real estate journalists, and anyone who registered can view the panel recordings at any time for up to 30 days after the conference, so no sweat if you couldn’t watch sessions live. On the real estate side, we had panels like “Real Estate Buying and Selling During COVID-19,” “Housing Segregation Then & Now,” “Reconstructing the Mall: Adding Apartments, Offices, Warehouses to Dead and Dying Shopping Centers” and “Suburban Migration and Coronavirus Changes.”

Professional development sessions via NAREE University offered best practices on Covering Present-Day Housing Inequality, Social Media Limits for Real Estate Reporting and more. We also celebrated the winners of the annual NAREE Journalism Contest at our awards ceremony on Dec. 9 at 5:15 P.M. ET. Some winners told their back stories at the “How to Write Groundbreaking Real Estate Stories” panel on December 10.

The full NAREE2020 schedule is still now live here. Check it out, and look for my welcome/tutorial to walk you through how to use the NAREE/Accelevents platform if you registered and need to go back in.

The usual conference program book, including speaker bios and columns from various real estate reporters and editors, is also transitioned online — anyone who registered received a link to it before the conference went live. members can find NAREE’s 2020 conference program book on the “members Only” section of NAREE.org.
