The Licensing Labyrinth
Innovators are hungrier than ever for MLS data. Gaining access in a single market is usually just a matter of patience and persistence. However, those who wish to take their product or service national quickly learn that gaining entrance into the real estate market at large is far more complicated that it looks. This discussion delves into the key data acquisition challenges and raises possible solutions to help keep innovators charging forward.

Unlocking Innovation, Respecting the Broker
MLS data has value. It should be a strategic advantage to brokers and agents. But the rules around data, and the means to access it, often put them at a disadvantage relative to big online players like Trulia and Zillow. How do we unlock innovation and respect broker rights and preferences? This session will develop a model for doing just that.

The Broker and Agent Bill of Rights
Agents and brokers have a love/hate relationship with the MLS. It is central to their professional lives, yet some are frustrated with MLS policies, the manner in which MLS use their data, and innovations the MLS pursues. This roundtable discussion puts it all on the table.
