From May 16th to the 18th, members of the Sotheby’s International Realty® brand met for the 2016 Global Networking Event at the Wynn in Las Vegas, Nevada. With over 2,300 attendees from around the world, this was the largest event in the history of the company.

At the GNE, members of the Sotheby’s International Realty global team were afforded the ability to network with their peers from all over the world as well as attend breakout sessions featuring subject matter experts and visit a MarketPlace with all of the event’s sponsors.
