After cancelling its real estate technology conference last year due to the coronavirus, the National Association of Realtors is bringing it back, along with its main event: a head-to-head contest in which startups compete for a cash prize.
The 1.48 million-member trade group’s third annual Innovation, Opportunity & Investment (iOi) Summit will be held August 17 and 18 at the Sheraton Dallas Hotel in Dallas, Texas. The event is best known for its “Pitch Battle,” a contest hosted by NAR’s for-profit investment subsidiary, Second Century Ventures, in which aspiring real estate tech startups vie for $15,000 in cash and the attention of venture capitalists and others who could help them make a splash in the industry.

With “the great reshuffling” underway as people with increased flexibility to work from anywhere move to homes that better fit their needs, relocation trends can be hard to spot in real time.
To tackle that problem, the moving app Updater has partnered with the National Association of Realtors to provide the trade group with anonymous, aggregated relocation data, Updater told Inman in an exclusive Tuesday.
New York-based Updater helps homebuyers tackle moving-related tasks such as hiring a moving company, forwarding mail, changing utilities and connecting their TV and internet service. Real estate agents can pay $149 per year to offer a branded version of the app to their clients.
