Winning in Austin: Technology, Talent Migration & Real Demand | Powered by REACH

​An Innovation Afternoon at the Austin Board of REALTORS® & UnlockMLS in partnership with REACH | March 31, 2026

​Overview

​The real estate industry is experiencing unprecedented technological change. For agents, the question is no longer whether technology will impact your business, but how to harness it in ways that actually create more deals, reduce friction, and give you back time. 

​In Austin, that view is further compounded by the constant relocation of new technology firms to the city, driving jobs and demand for housing - including lots of new deals.

​This curated afternoon is designed specifically to pull the curtain back from the headlines and empower working agents and brokers with the wisdom to capitalize on this boom! 

​Drinks and canapés to follow.
