VLOG: How to Utilize a Mortgage Conference

Stopped by the Canadian Mortgage Broker's Association FUNDAMENTALS19 Conference earlier this week. These conferences aren't typically my cup of tea but thought it was a good opportunity to meet some of the private lenders I deal with and put some faces to names and ALSO utilize my time there in a different way....

A big part of going was to get some footage and produce some content to prove how valuable it is to have some sort of a brand on your social media platforms. Not everyone who goes to a mortgage conference goes for business. To be honest, I think a lot go just to mingle and drink. So I thought bringing a camera along with me this time can show that you can utilize a mortgage conference for other purposes - not just the traditional "have a drink and pass a business card" kind of way.

Let me know what you guys think of these conferences... I'm curious to know what other people are getting out of them. Are they a waste of time or do you find them useful?
