Moving the professional networking event to Washington, D.C., enables RISMedia to welcome a greater number of industry executives, explains Featherston.

Special negotiated pricing for accommodations at the Mayflower further enhances the event’s value for attendees.

“The best brokerage, MLS, mortgage finance, association, technology and service-provider leaders will once again make the CEO & Leadership Exchange the must-attend real estate event of the year,” says Featherston.
