Gibson Sotheby's International Realty Attends the 2024 Global Networking Event: A ‘1 of 1' Experience

The Global Networking Event (GNE) is the Sotheby's International Realty brand's signature event designed to bring together sales associates, managers, and broker/owners from across our global network.

This year, more than 40 of our associates and staff gathered at Music City Center in the heart of downtown Nashville, Tennessee to:

  • Network with more than 2,500 colleagues from over 30 countries.
  • Learn about AI, industry changes, and the future of luxury real estate from a powerful lineup of speakers, including Reese Witherspoon.
  • Tap into experts from outside the real estate category to stay on the cutting edge of creating value for our clients amidst continued change in the industry.
  • Witness the launch of the new '1 of 1' brand marketing campaign which celebrates what makes every home unique and one-of-a-kind.
  • See the unveiling of the brand’s new social media influencer partnership with Jeremiah Brent, star of the upcoming season of Queer Eye on Netflix, acclaimed AD100 designer, and TV host with over 1M social media followers.
  • Have FUN, epitomized by closing down an entire block of downtown Nashville to enjoy a private concert from chart-topping country music star Dustin Lynch.

Here are a few of the other reasons why this extraordinary event was ‘1 of 1’...

Pre-Conference Meetings

It would not be the GNE without exceptional networking opportunities. We seized the chance to connect with fellow professionals, fostering valuable connections that enhanced our experience at the GNE in the days ahead. These meetings covered topics including what makes Sotheby's International Realty truly exceptional, creating a high-performance culture, and articulating your value proposition, alongside gatherings of marketers, operations leaders, relocation experts, and representatives from specific regions across the globe.

Welcome Receptions, Cocktail Parties, and More

We experienced true Southern hospitality while fostering a wealth of connections and shared experiences. The welcome reception was a private block party featuring a special performance from country music star Dustin Lynch. After the first full day of events, our team enjoyed several intimate cocktail parties and joined our network for an evening of music and networking at Jason Aldean's Kitchen + Rooftop Bar and Luke's 32 Bridge.  

 

 

Keynote Speakers, Breakout Sessions, and Roundtable Discussions 

What sets the GNE apart from other conferences is the sheer talent in the room. For many, the highlights of the event were the inspiring speeches from extraordinary guest speakers, including:

ExclusiveEvents and Gatherings

Away from the main crowds of the GNE, our team was honored to be invited to several exclusive events hosted by our affiliate partners and organizations. These smaller gatherings allowed us to connect with our network in intimate settings, providing a space for more intentional connection. From professionals serving our feeder markets, to members of third-party industry organizations, to friends we connected with previously, we elevated the power and experience of the Global Networking Event.
