Karen Margrave I've organized a few events a few years ago, attendees were only around 200.

The attendees benefited from now having access to 2 lenders - my private lender and CIC (Community Investment Corporation).

I have gone over case studies of past closed deals to educate attendees on what a deal looks like, how deals are structured, and provide a big picture.. but I have never ever publicly pitched a deal. 

Lol.I think out of the 250+ attendees this weekend I was the only one from Atlantic Canada. 

Steve Snyder One is at UnUrban Cafe in santa monica on 2nd sat of the month, most attendees are from bp.

Educational, cheap, pretty high quality attendees, and no sales pitches!  

Sure enough, more than half the attendees got up and most were seen opening their checkbooks to write from $5+k to $25k checks right there on the spot. 

according to a book that I just read.A number of years ago I went to a big real estate investors convention with 1,500 attendees; there they did a survey and about 1/3 didn't own any real estate, about 1/3 only owned their personal residence, and remaining 1/3 own at least ONE real estate investment.

They get an incredible number of attendees.

I have no connection or interest in any of these REIAs beyond having been an attendee at each.
