Thoughts about the MEREDA Conference in Maine

Hello Investors, I am new to Maine and I heard that next week the Maine Real Estate and development association is holding its annual conference. Usually it is a big event with the opportunity to connect with local investors, developers, and landlords. But due to COVID this event is virtual. I am planning to attend the conference and wanted to hear your feedback about your previous experiences with MEREDA. Thank you all!

I went to the event last year and it was GREAT. It is typically super informative and is usually an amazing opportunity to network. It will be interesting to see how they handle it this year virtually. Less networking opportunity I'm sure but hopefully still just as informative!

Hey Leen, I attended the conference a couple of years ago and it was a very positive experience! I'd be interested to hear how it was in the virtual format!

Hey Blake, unfortunately I wasn’t able to attend the conference because of work. I will make sure to attend it next year, physically I hope. I was able to watch segments from last year’s MEREDA conference and they were good in terms of giving a detailed idea about the different market trends. As a newbie, it was really helpful to get that insight. Thank you for posting, it is always nice to get to know new people interested in real estate investing in Maine.
