    Under a vast Texas sky, 500 top U.S. real‑estate agents convened at Dallas’s Omni Hotel for a three‑day networking extravaganza hosted by Briggs Freeman Sotheby’s International Realty (Dallas/Fort Worth), Kuper Sotheby’s International Realty (Austin/San Antonio), and Martha Turner Sotheby’s International Realty (Houston). Dubbed the Texas Networking Event, the program offered immersive seminars, candid panels, and communal meals, drawing participants from 20 states including Texas, California, Colorado, and New York.

    Key leaders from Sotheby’s International Realty—President & CEO Philip White, SVP of Global Servicing & Strategy Tammy Fahmi, and Chief Marketing Officer A. Bradley Nelson—joined industry VIPs such as speaker Thomas Wright, coach Jim Miller, and Ninja Selling instructor Peter Parnegg. The host brokerages’ presidents—Russ Anderson (BFSIR), J Kuper (KSIR), Robin Conner (MTSIR), and Paul Kilian (MTSIR)—also participated.

    Seminars covered pressing topics: AI, social media, strategic pricing, negotiation tactics, and more. Between sessions, a pop‑up shopping arcade buzzed with vendors like Frame (luxury sweaters, tees, totes), Hästens (premium bedding), City Boots (high‑end footwear), and Ras Redwine (custom hats).

    The event concluded with “The Last Rodeo,” a Texas‑themed party featuring live music, hay bales, hand‑sliced brisket, guacamole, photo booths, and cowboys twirling lassos on the hotel lawn, framed by Dallas’s skyline.

    The preceding weekend offered a packed agenda: a morning run, a tour of a $17.5 million penthouse at Hall Arts Residences, a Dallas Cowboys watch party, private viewings of two $30 million+ manors in Highland Park, a behind‑the‑scenes Dallas Opera tour, a day at the historic Fort Worth Stockyards, a Colorado skiing mixer, and a private country‑club soiree in affluent Westlake.
