It might have been a waste of time for one attendee, but pure gold for another.  

The open houses have lower rate of attenance.Using your terminology, So I question if you are comparing Gucci criteria (DOM, attendees yo open house, inquiries, viewings) to Walmart criteria?  

Flexible Scheduling & Precautions: Allowing them to select specific, limited time slots for showings and implementing strict safety protocols (masks, limited attendees, ensuring the niece is not present).However, I also have a significant concern about a potential holdover situation.

It would be nice to start a group which meets with regular cadence so that attendees could plan to include it in their schedules.

That said, so many in-person networking events become "Pitchfests" where:- a handful of sponsors are shoving their service/product down everyone's throats- attendees show up for the open bar and food- newbies across different disciplines are just throwing their business cards around like ninja stars instead of having thoughtful conversations- people have ZERO intentions to follow-up with the contacts they made- and... a bunch of time is wasted I'm not judging these events or attendees... simply reflecting on my experiences at networking events...

Don't join- Get contact information from every attendee & start establishing relationships2.

No cards exchanged.But a team member had the attendee list… and turned it into gold with the help of some deep research.That list — once cleaned and enriched — led to a single email.

Sunday includes a bus trip for the attendees to see 3 or 4 apartment complexes, ones owned by his students, so you can see what you are getting into. 

On April 17, 2025, over 700 registered attendees descended on the state Capitol in Madison, WI for the Realtor & Government Day 2025 (RGD).

Even volunteering for simple things like checking people in, the attendees walk up to you.
