The WAV Group Customer Experience Index reveals that agents and brokers today are looking for education options that are carefully matched to their experience level and specific needs. One-size-fits-all programming no longer cuts it. To stay relevant and retain members, Associations must deliver learning experiences that speak directly to where each practitioner is in their career journey. That means education leaders need a constant pipeline of fresh ideas, innovative formats, and connections to speakers who truly understand the modern real estate professional. 

One of the best places to find that inspiration is The Bringing Educators & Associations Together for Success (BEATS) Conference. The BESTS conference is the premier event of the year for Real Estate Education Directors, Event Planners, and Speakers.

Designed to foster collaboration, innovation, and professional growth, the BEATS Conference is not just an event. It’s a movement dedicated to elevating real estate education that empowers attendees to bring new energy and ideas back to their organizations.

WAV Group was proud to attend the BEATS Conference for the first time in 2025. Our CEO Marilyn Wilson had the honor of speaking on leveraging AI to drive up the value and excitement of educational offerings, and the experience exceeded every expectation. The energy, the conversations, and the depth of expertise in the room made it one of the most valuable events of the year. Tom Bauman, VP of Sales at RE Technology, also attended and came away equally inspired. This year, Tom is heading back to BEATS and we couldn’t be more excited to support him at the event.

“Last year’s BEATS Conference was unlike anything I’d experienced before. The Main Stage gave me a front-row seat to some of the most engaging speakers in the business, and the roundtable conversations sparked ideas I brought back to our clients immediately. What really stood out was the sense of community. Everyone there is genuinely committed to raising the bar for real estate education. I can’t wait to go back this year and reconnect with that community while discovering what’s next for our industry.”
