Sign into your accountRESO Fall PlugFest: Where the techiest real estate Geeks will go
September 22 2015
If you're a Geek, you most likely know what a "PlugFest" is. If you're not a Geek, when you first heard the term, it may have sounded a bit strange. That's okay because the audience for our upcoming RESO PlugFest, held the first day of our Fall Conference in Austin Oct. 27-29, is designed for the techiest real estate Geeks. Don't worry though, we have a full track of sessions for the non-geeks at the RESO Fall Conference that run concurrently during PlugFest.
For non-Geeks, a PlugFest is an event where software engineers gather to bring their concepts to life while they test data standards, see how they can exchange data and interpret that shared data so a user can easily understand it. They create a platform of interoperability between data, products, and standards. If what is available "off the shelf" –technologically speaking – are standards compliant, then they should function as expected when they're "plugged" together. It's also a highly collaborative, open, and friendly environment that's devoted to facilitating conversations and exchanging expert experiences, both digitally and face-to-face.
PlugFest has two parts, really: The "hack-a-thon," where the Geeks code away, and for those who are watching, we provide an expo area of tables where vendors will showcase their related technology that will include firms such as YoData, MLSListings, TLCengine and more.
For example, Onboard Informatics will offer up its "Property Search Engine" API for the PlugFest. It's a RESTful API that offers access to over 148 million property records from CoreLogic collected public records data, including over 120 property attributes, AVM, recent home sales, 10 years of sales history, taxes and assessments. According to Chief Product Officer Scott Petronis, Onboard will provide PlugFest participants access to their developer portal, which includes a free trial account. That account, Scott says, will be available for use afterwards for "non-commercial (e.g. development) purposes."
