Our last day at the Phoenix CoreNet Global Summit yesterday (Tuesday, September 21) was great! Deane spoke on the SNAP Session panel, “Secret Weapons: How Corporate Real Estate Executives Research the Best Locations,” with Anatalio Ubalde of GIS Planning. It was a great session full of helpful information. Particularly good advice was given regarding corporate real estate websites; the “dos” and “don’ts” of content compilation and placement. It is pertinent to see concise contact information and real estate data! In the spirit of the first SNAP Session about social media, presented by Ji Kim of Biggins Lacy Shapiro and Nate Stumpf of Development Counsellors International, FCG has created its own Twitter account: @footeconsulting and a Facebook account: FCG on FB.
Over a nice CoreNet lunch, Deane and I met with Janice Karcher, VP at the Genesee Regional Chamber of Commerce. We are currently working on an important project with Janice and her team at the GRCC. It was a great meeting, and we are moving forward as scheduled!
I personally met some awesome people at CoreNet, and I would like to thank them all for making my first CoreNet experience so wonderful. CoreNet should have highlights from the event on their website shortly, so we will post some great stuff soon.
