«Congress of Real Estate Market Leaders turned out to be large-scale and exceeded all expectations. Convenient operation, quick turn-ons, and friendly attitude of technical support, all this is due to colleagues from Yandex who took over the technical support of the Congress.

Summing up, I can confidently say that its motto truly was „Ibi Victoria, Ubi Concordia“ (with Victory there is Agreement!). Both at the plenary session and thematic sections, the idea that our strength lies in cooperation was repeated.

The Congress not only solved urgent issues of the realtor community but also became a platform for the experience exchange of realtors from all over the Russian Federation. And even more: we received positive feedback from colleagues from the United States, who also participated in the Congress.
