More than a speaker at a podium. Four curated experiences throughout the year (two daytime programs, two evening experiences). Formats range from lunch lectures to evening gatherings featuring cocktails, dinner, and conversation.
The PULSE Speaker Series—standing for Professional Updates, Leadership, Strategies, and Expertise—brings exceptional subject-matter experts, industry leaders, and thought leaders to Marin for meaningful conversations about the ideas, trends, and issues shaping real estate, business, and our communities.
Dive In. Build Out. Move Forward.
The Lunch & Learn program is now SPARK (Skills, Practice, Application, Resources, and Know-how). While the signature PULSE series focuses on big-picture thought leadership and expert-driven insights, SPARK is designed as an interactive, roll-up-your-sleeves workshop where members bring their laptops, iPads, or devices to build skills, master practical tools, and learn by doing.
Bring your laptops, your tablets, and your curiosity. Step away from passive listening and dive into high-impact, roll-up-your-sleeves workshops built for real-world execution.
The ALLY Series (Affiliate Learning, Leadership & Yielding Success) connects REALTORS® with trusted industry experts through educational sessions led by MAR Affiliate Partners. Learn about specialized products, essential services, and key issues that impact your clients and transactions.
The ALLY Series connects you with vetted industry experts to gain actionable clarity on the products and services that streamline transactions. Expect timely, market-driven insights while building valuable relationships with the local professionals invested in your success.
