"I've met some amazing people, great contacts, and most importantly, have been invited to follow up with them," said Tracey Qualteri, Regional Multifamily Manager for Pfister Faucets, speaking about her experience as a Sponsoring Company at SGC Horizon's Student Housing ProCONNECT event in Denver on November 11, 2019.
Being able to follow up with Attendees - student housing developers, contractors, and architects - is "really the key to an event like this," said Qualteri, who was attending her first ProCONNECT event (although Pfister Faucets has participated in several).
Qualteri also liked the intimate format of the ProCONNECT event. "The format is the key" to the success of the program," she said. It's "a smaller environment, where you have the opportunity to dig into the needs of each person you meet."
That intimacy creates "true partnerships," said Qualteri.
Dan Gardner, who manages the SGC Horizon ProCONNECT events, said there will be 6 such programs in 2020:
ProCONNECT event Schedule for 2020
Student Housing ProCONNECT, Renaissance Hotel, Nashville, November 2020
Multifamily ProCONNECT, Ritz-Carlton, Dallas, March 8-10, 2020
Class A Office/Workplace ProCONNECT, Andaz Resort, Scottsdale, Ariz., September 2020
ProCONNECT events serving the single-family housing market will be held April 27-29 in Miami Beach, Fla.; May 10-12 in Dallas (local builders only); and October 28-30 in San Diego.
