DENVER, Aug. 23, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, The RE/MAX Collection® brand announced its keynote speakers - HGTV's Bargain Mansions host Tamara Day and Master Sommelier® Alpana Singh - and other prominent session hosts for The RE/MAX Collection 9^th Annual Luxury Forum. The business-building event at the JW Marriott Camelback Resort (5402 E. Lincoln Drive) in Scottsdale on Oct. 27-28, is open to RE/MAX luxury agents and guests.

The RE/MAX luxury brand's signature event is returning to an in-person format this fall with market knowledge, industry expertise and game-changing speakers. The forum will focus largely on methods of proactivity, in addition to productivity, for luxury professionals. Attendees will gain deeper insights into finding and serving new clients, using social media for amplification in local markets, and maximizing The Luxury Launchpad – an innovative new dashboard created by The RE/MAX Collection® brand.

Keynote speaker, Tamara Day, who is also the CEO and Founder of Growing Days Home and Growing Days Design, is known for her trademark design style of "laid back luxe." She's a master of combining touches of glam with a cozy livable vibe that makes living spaces both practical and beautiful. Attendees will learn how she and her team transform large, neglected houses into crafted masterpieces of art.

Alpana Singh achieved the unimaginable at the young age of 26 by passing the final level of the Master Sommelier exam, becoming the youngest woman in the world to do so. The examination has a pass rate of 3%, with 262 professionals world-wide who have earned the title of Master Sommelier since the organization's inception in 1977. Singh has since hosted the Emmy Award-winning restaurant review television show, Check Please! on Chicago's PBS station and has opened three restaurants in Illinois.
