This year, be challenged and inspired
It's been a crazy few years. COVID uncertainty. Post COVID boom. Now it's macroeconomic intervention making everything more uncertain.
It's not just real estate businesses with high cost bases that are feeling the pinch. It's everyone.
But "Industrial Revolution 4.0" - the one that's happening right now - is creating massive opportunity for first movers.
How will you seize the opportunity in front of you?
Over rising costs?
The aim of this event is to save you money
Imagine spending a few days with awesome people, cutting edge thinking and room to breathe - what would that do for your business?
It's not just that the networking is great (it is) and not just because you'll bring home ideas (you will), it's because it will take you outside the screen, the noise, the everything.
And that's the space where good things happen!
Elite Retreat is not just another real estate conference to attend, it's an experience to join.
And this year we are working with attendees to lower the cost of doing business.

Case Study: 2023 - The year of the zero cost business
According to the Bank of America, S&P 500 companies in 1990 needed an average of seven employees to deliver $1 million in revenue. In 2020, however, that number had decreased to less than one. This stark contrast highlights the profound impact that technology and automation have had (and will continue to have) on the modern workforce. As we look to the future, it is clear that the role of automation in the workplace will only continue to grow. While this may raise concerns about job displacement and economic inequality, there are also significant opportunities to leverage automation to improve productivity, drive innovation, and create new business models.In this extended session Scott will deliver one of his famous Harvard style "case study" sessions, drawing together lessons from our keynote speakers and creating take home lessons for you to implement into your own business.
