RE/MAX affiliates are invited to put on their coziest clothes, brew a cup of coffee and log in to R4 from the comfort of their own home. With 2021 R4 Your Way, virtual attendees can experience everything the world-class annual R4 convention has to offer without having to leave their office or hometown.
Like the BOC, which RE/MAX hosted for RE/MAX broker/owners in August 2020, the R4 virtual experience is not just another Zoom meeting. Instead, attendees will be digitally transported to R4 – happening live in Orlando, Florida, March 23-25, 2021, for a limited number of in-person attendees – through an immersive virtual platform. The platform will allow attendees to “walk” through the R4 lobby and choose a destination, mirroring the in-person experience with educational sessions, the Opening General Session, networking opportunities, Fun Night and a RE/MAX MarketPlace for Approved Suppliers.
“Virtual attendees for the first time ever will be brought right to Orlando, no matter where they are in the world,” says Pam Harris, RE/MAX Senior Vice President of Customer Experience. “Attendees can create their own R4 experience by choosing any session they want to join, jump to the MarketPlace to meet Approved Suppliers, watch the live entertainment at the Fun Night and more.”
Networking lounges help expand business spheres
A favorite element for many R4 attendees is the chance to build connections with fellow RE/MAX affiliates. Virtual attendees have the opportunity to network through Networking Lounges, similar to chat rooms. The Networking Lounges are divided into separate rooms based on interests, RE/MAX products and business-building ideas.
For instance, affiliates interested in discussing insights from Dave Ramsey’s keynote or diving into RE/MAX Tech with fellow virtual attendees will have dedicated rooms in which to listen and participate. All lounges will provide attendees the opportunity to chat one-on-one or in a group through video or text, including the option to exchange a virtual badge to keep the conversation going after R4.
The networking goes beyond connecting with fellow attendees. Affiliates can stroll through the virtual MarketPlace – or schedule a personal meeting with an individual vendor – to check out over 60 Approved Suppliers booths and learn more about services and products offered to RE/MAX affiliates.
