White Powder, Bird Flu, Hurricanes and Hackers
We will focus on business continuity and disaster recovery; what to do when you can’t access your office, can’t work out of a central location; the office no longer exists or is severely damaged. We will also discuss how to protect your organization from the ever growing threat of cyber attacks. Take home processes, procedures and management action items to ensure your business survives the new threats of the 21st century.
Web 2.0 and Mashups Web 2.0 and mashups are the next generation of website usage. A mashup is a website or web application that uses content from more than one source to create a completely new service. Much the way blogs are revolutionizing online publishing, mashups are revolutionizing web development . In real estate this might contain: listings served from an MLS; maps of the listing; an AVM model to demonstrate the value of a particular property; public records data for additional info on a property; news services; or market statistics and data. The real value will be in the simplicity of its use. Learn how, through creativity and a combination of web services, you can use your web site to attract and engage the real estate consumer.
In addition, we will likely have a session on blogs in real estate as well. If you are interested in participating in the sessions please contact Todd Costigan.
You will also have an opportunity to help rebuild New Orleans. We urge you to participate. CRT will be.





The contact page for Todd gives a 404 error. I would be interested in speaking with him. Thanks! MP
It was supposed to be a mailto: link, but it had a space and some other issues. I just fixed those, so it should be all good.
I’m sorry I won’t be attending because I would love to participate in the blog session. Maybe next time!
