The RIS Media Leadership Conference is going on today and tomorrow in NYC.  Today's opening session had some many interesting figures in it, that I didn't think I could do it justice by typing it all up, so I did a video recap.  The videos are stat heavy. 

**Warning - the numbers aren't good, in fact they were pretty downright depressing.  However, the interesting thing is that the vibe here isn't depressing.  I think people are beyond that.  The attitude is now more of - ok, we know the numbers suck, but give them to us straight, let's realistically process them and let's build a plan around them. 

With that here are my recaps.  Part 1 is Alex Perriello's opening State of the Industry address.  And Part 2 is a recap of the first panel where industry leader gave their national perspectives on market opportunities in 2010 and a lot of information around credit/lending/foreclosures.
