This year’s #One21Experience was one for the books! From dynamic breakouts to an unbeatable lineup of speakers, an interactive expo, and jaw-dropping announcements, our relentless affiliates stepped away from running their businesses to expand their knowledge and to network with other CENTURY 21 affiliates from around the world.
With over 10 countries represented, and more than 1,600 of our most relentless in attendance, sunny Los Angeles, California didn’t fail to disappoint. We kicked off our conference weekend with our exclusive International Master’s Dinner and we segued into Sunday, officially kicking off our learning sessions hosted by our CENTURY 21 learning team and some of the best thought leaders in the industry, including award-winning sales and marketing professional Kristi Kennelly, and media personality, entrepreneur, bestselling author and speaker, Gabi Natale, to name a few. Our more than 100 learning sessions included topics such as How to Boost Productivity, 12 Mindsets of Successful Agents, Developing Systems for Retention & Profit, and so many more!
Our expo was the perfect setup to reveal some of our 50th Anniversary swag and the expo hall doubled as a space for jam-packed learning sessions on everything from tech topics, hosted by CENTURY 21 corporate staff, to Dr. Julie Gurner, herself, sharing her favorite takeaways from our 1st season of The Relentless Podcast – which, by the way, according to Libsyn, is rated in the top 5% with over 300k downloads!
Monday was one to remember with our general session hosted at none other than the Microsoft Theatre, where our very own executive team CMO, Cara Whitley, COO, Bryon Ellington, and CEO, Mike Miedler took to the stage to reveal award recipients such as our International Hall of Fame, our #1’s, and our Best of Awards, to name a few. The show didn’t stop there! Cara shared the launch of our new Abandonment Campaign commercial, which showcases how our relentless agents go above and beyond for their clients throughout the entire buying and selling process. Bryon took to the stage to announce the launch of our new Home Concierge Service, which is a new tool that will help our agents provide even better service to their clients with everything from insurance, to moving and utilities, to internet and booking home services. The Home Concierge Service tool will be available later this year.
Patty McCord, the former talent officer of Netflix, was also a part of the line-up, in addition to the amazing and inspiring host of Shark Week, Paul de Gelder. (if you haven’t heard Paul’s incredible story, you’re seriously missing out.)
For the last day of the conference, you’d think we’d slow things down a bit, but we chose a different relentless approach. We had an awesome line-up with the industry’s leading real estate coaches. Kicking things off with ‘the’ Tom Ferry taking the stage and trust us when we say, the line for his session started to wrap around the building at 7:45 am for an 8:30 start time, and people are still talking about his session! After Tom, up to bat, we had Mike Ferry and Jared James. We really brought the A-game with the line-up this year! We capped the event off with our Final Night Celebration, and let’s just say we painted the town relentless gold.
We are so ready for our 50th-anniversary celebration next year, that we already have the site up and ready to take your registrations. If you didn’t think this year could be topped, we’ll show you next year in Vegas!
