Sorry... but this concept is not quite "my thing." I like to learn... and can pass on the lunch.

I'd say more social Bob Crane and I'd go with a topic like agent safety to include recent incidents that would highlight the need to be aware of what is going on around us.

I like it to be more social than business. Less formal but learning what is current, fun and interactive. I dont like someone reading to me. It should not be boring and should have great food.

It depends on who is doing the teaching. If it is you or a REALTOR®, marketing, listing presentations, changes to contracts or forms are always popular. Or have an inspector, professional photographer, insurance agent, lender, etc. speak about their role in a transaction. A hot topic now is flood insurance, very timely with all the floods in inland areas. There is talk of major changes to the flood insurance program so that might be the most relevant right now.
I prefer finger foods for the menu as it is too distracting to try eating a salad or sandwich while listening to the speaker and taking notes. Wraps sliced in bite size pieces, pizza cut in squares that are two bites, fruit and cheese platter, etc.
The purpose will determine social vs. business. If it's an office meeting or in-house training, lean more to business, 70/30. If it's a recruiting device, 50/50.

A variety of food and a good mix of social and business. Food and social first then sit down for business. I prefer learning legal topics. There is an unlimited variety to choose from.

If it is called "Lunch and Learn" it will be a mixture of social and business. The opportunities for additional business learning are endless.

I don't care about the menu.
The topic I would like to see covered, and I'm actually pitching in our office, is a lunch and learn about getting buyers to make up the difference if there is a shortage in what our commission in the buyer brokerage agreement is vs. what is paid int he MLS...and how to do that within the confines of a loan and how to do that on the settlement statement. We've confused some lenders and title attorneys reently who don't get the concept that the buyer can pay part of the commission.

Bob,
I don't like to do business that way. I like to have lunch and small talk. Then when the coffee is served, you can talk business. Otherwise it is a case for indigestion in my opinion. Neither is enjoyed. A

Our recent one was on the new tax code and how it affects real estate agents, conducted by a CPA. I thought it was good. The setting was a restaurant and there was time before the presentation to network, but no opportunity to mingle.
