Thursday, January 23 | 8:30 – 9:30 AM
Location: LVCC – Spotlight and Game Changer Session – South 223
Why it’s Can’t Miss: If you’re not familiar with who Tom Goodwin is, here is a bit about his influence in the world of marketing.

We’re interested to hear what’s on the frontier of marketing for homebuilders and Tom is just the trailblazer to lead us in the discussion.

Why it’s Can’t Miss: We speak from experience that implementing a successful paid search strategy is not for the faint of heart and Google doesn’t make it easy with their constant evolution of their Ads platform.
