Top brokers in the luxury real estate industry from the United States, Canada, Mexico and Europe have been hand-selected to brainstorm and share ideas on topics as diverse as market trends, social media, entrepreneurship and networking. The event includes innovative speakers, interactive presentations, and networking opportunities.

"The Key is not about our firm but rather about bringing the most talented luxury real estate professionals together to share knowledge and strengthen each other's success. It's about advancing — and reinventing — the way high-net-worth clients are serviced in relation to their real estate assets."
