Rightmove has hosted a three-day property portal summit at its head office in Milton Keynes – an annual event where leaders from some of the world’s top property portals come together to share ideas and insight from their local markets.
This is the first year that the summit has been held in the UK, with 50 representatives from Germany, Spain, Ireland, Switzerland, Singapore and South Africa all in attendance.
The conference included several presentations and workshops on a range of subjects, including social media, data strategies, and how new technologies are helping to improve the home-moving experience for consumers across the world.
Giles Howard, head of partnerships at Rightmove, said: “Having representatives from other market-leading property portals round the world come together to learn from each other has proved extremely useful every year, and this year was no exception.
“Though the markets we operate in might be different, we are all innovative technology-based businesses and we are all focused on making improvements to help our customers and consumers.
“It’s been fascinating to hear about the way that our Spanish counterparts approach user experience on mobile and how ImmobilienScout24 in Germany are running trials to qualify leads more effectively.
“Coming together to share ideas in this way helps all of us to short-circuit some of the investigative work on exciting new projects for our customers and helps us create even better consumer platforms.
“It helps Rightmove give our advertisers an extra advantage in their quest to reach, impress and win more business from more home movers.”

You missed a trick there, wilko – having a bad day, mon ami…? 😉
GO AWAY RM, stop doing press releases all of a sudden, sit in the corner and count your money!! While you can.
Now, now, Paull – it was EYE's decision to publish this article.
RM simply posts it up for use.
And abuse, in the case of EYE's readership…
Good summit to be a fly-on-the-wall at… Wonder what they talk about…
Next year Agents Mutual should be there at the bash
Why – they aren't inviting any other companies whose customer base's sole aim is to close them down…
Hold on squire 😉
I would imagine most agents (you included) would want to win every instruction, I know I do. In other words Paul H 20, the comp zero, that'll suit me EVERY month. Does this mean that i'm trying to close them down?!
Maybe your charitable on occasions PeeBee 😉

Put it like that, yes. It would mean EXACTLY that, matey.
How would your competition survive on zero sausage to feed the machine, month in; month out?
