RE BarCamp is coming to Los Angeles and Phoenix. Are you going? You should be?

What is a BarCamp?

They are “unconferences”. That means there are no set agendas, topics or speakers. The day’s schedule is determined by the attendee’s in the morning. If you want to speak, you suggest a topic. If there is something you want to know about, you encourage people to talk about it. It’s hard to explain and sounds a little goofy, but believe me, it works.

Here is a video from the first RE BarCamp 2008

Why should you attend?

At RE BarCamp you will meet some of the smartest people in the Real Estate Technology area and the agents that use the newest technology tools for their business.

These people will teach things such as:

• Strategies of Blogging for Business in Real Estate
• Preferred Blogging Platforms
• Online Tools to Boost Your Blog (and ultimately your biz)
• Twitter Strategies
• Marketing on Facebook
• LinkedIn Networking Tips
• Vlogging Tips
• Leveraging Social Networks like Active Rain
• Driving Traffic to Your Site
• Lead Generation Strategies
• Search Engine Optimizations Tips
