The upcoming Inman Real Estate Connect San Francisco conference is a must see event for real estate professionals, plus it is in San Francisco, one of my favorite places. Check out the deal for bloggers.

Inman News has been touting the wide swath of speakers as:

* The Best and the brightest;
* Real estate industry’s champions; and
* Industry heavyweights

Ok, ok. I get the hint. I need to lose a few pounds….

Inman Real Estate Connect is great because it attracts decision makers and innovators. I always learn something a lot and meet many great people.

Brad, Joel, Jessica and company know how to run an event.

On Friday in the main conference venue, I’ll be participating in the last panel discussion of the conference:

When Will the Housing Market Turn?

* Alex Perriello, CEO, Realogy
* Joel Singer, EVP, CAR
* Jonathan Miller, Co-Founder, Miller Samuel
* Patrick F. Stone, Chairman, The Stone Group

Should be a great time.
