For those of you who don't know, the Rogers Park Builders Group's annual Trends in the Industry Workshop is an interactive event - the favorite of many.



At Trends, we break attendees up into small groups - and each group, under the leadership of an industry professional, will discuss eight questions, each focused on a different aspect of the economy or the real estate market, with each group's goal being to project the state of the market in two year's time.

You need not be a real estate wonk to find this exercise engaging and useful. This workshop will offer you a chance to learn from your peers and weigh in on your own - let alone forge new relationships with other industry professionals.


Join us for a fun networking hour, delicious dinner and an engaging interactive program.


Please review our list of generous Sponsors, below. Their support allows the Rogers Park Builders Group to continue to be an impactful neighborhood real estate group.


Sincerely, 

 

Rogers Park Builders Group

Michael Glasser, President
