The 2015 Keynote Speaker, Steve Koonin, CEO of the Atlanta Hawks & Philips Arena drew a large crowd with his dynamic presentation on “building a winning brand” and the marketing overhaul of the Atlanta Hawks! Visitors also enjoyed hearing valuable insight on branding their business, how to get the most out of Google, very important upcoming contract changes, the next generation of FMLS highly touted Matrix system and more.

“SHOWCASE has become a tradition in the Georgia real estate community. It is vital that we continue to provide our agents information on the latest in technology, relevant tools and training to remain successful. We also enjoy supporting the hundreds of vendors that allow us to conduct day-to-day business.”  ABR President Ennis Antoine.

All proceeds from the event will benefit Habitat for Humanity - Atlanta Chapter! The purpose of the partnership with Habitat for Humanity is to promote the value of homeownership and the financial stability that comes from owning a home. The Trade Show allows ABR members to raise money for a community service project that directly relates to our industry.
