re bar camp: RETSO... Business Reloaded - 03/27/13 04:25 AM
Five years ago I spent a day at a local hotel in a new conference.  A few weeks before that, I had recieved a call from Matt Fagioli, reaching out to me individually to come to the new event he was putting on with Brad Nix.  It was called REtechSouth (that was before they thought of calling it RETSO).  I spent my $99 and made plans to attend. 
Since that day, five years ago, I have managed to go to four more RETSO events.  In fact, it wasn't that long after that I ended up with Matt as my broker.  Matt … (3 comments)

re bar camp: rebarcamp Atlanta, 2011... Coming up SOON! - 10/19/11 09:32 AM
Less than 10 days from now, Atlanta will have its second rebarcamp event. 
If you haven't been to one of the rebarcamp (rebc) events around the country, you REALLY need to change that.  rebc events are billed as the "unconference".  Unlike a traditional conference, there aren't a bunch of vendors running sessions that are thinly disguised sales pitches... and sometimes they aren't even thinly disguised.  If you've ever been to the NAR Convention, you know exactly what I'm talking about.  It seems like every "education" seminar ends with "and you can get my DVD set at booth 347, for just $199."

re bar camp: Yeah... I've been kind of absent lately... - 03/13/11 02:02 PM
But don't worry, everything is fine.  I've been blogging on my regular site, LaneBailey.com... and sometimes on LaneBailey.info, which is more about social media.  I just haven't had much time to spend here commenting or posting special content for my A|R Blog.  I'm going to change that a bit...  I'll bring some of my content from the other sites, as well as some specific content for here...  Obviously, the points aren't my main concern anymore. 
There are a lot of things going on... Social Media Breakfast Atlanta (not getting as much of my time as I think it needs), reBarCamp Atlanta, … (3 comments)

re bar camp: Here's the Drill... Atlanta rebarcamp Schedule - 09/30/10 04:48 PM
OK, we have a little better idea of the schedule tomorrow for Atlanta's first real estate barcamp.
8:45-9:15 – Registration Check-In/Social – As everyone arrives, there is a chance to catch up with folks while getting ready for everything to get cranking…
9:15-9:45 – Opening Remarks and Call for Sessions – Unlike any other conference, attendees make up the break-out sessions.  Whether there is a question they want answered or a topic they want to talk with others about, this is pitch time…
9:45-10:10 – Tabulation/Scheduling/Social – The organizers will work feverishly to put together a schedule from the topics just … (3 comments)

re bar camp: So, Are You In? #rebcAtlanta - 09/25/10 05:06 PM
It is coming FAST.  On Friday, October 1st, Atlanta will host its first ever real estate barcamp.  It has been a long time coming, too. 
The first rebarcamp was in San Francisco in July, 2008.  It was the day before Inman, and I think I got more information that I could use that day than the next two combined.  Since then I have been to a couple more rebc events, like Charlotte and Raleigh.  Each time, I have come away just amazed at the level of information that I took in.  The networking has also been extraordinary.  Great friendships have been … (3 comments)

re bar camp: Do you REBC? #rebcATL - 09/02/10 08:09 AM
As mentioned previously, rebarcampATL is ON.  Atlanta will be hosting its first ever real estate bar camp.  The event is coming up on October 1st... at a venue to be named soon.  We have actually had to change venues in order to facilitate the demand.  As soon as details are finalized, they will be announced... 
Have you been to a rebarcamp event?
What did you think?  What was the best thing about it?  What would have made it better? What are you hoping to learn at the next rebarcamp event you attend?
Those are just a few of the questions that … (8 comments)

re bar camp: I am "Blog Brawling" once again... - 08/09/10 04:36 PM
And I need some help...  Actually, I need LOTS of help. 
I have entered the Carolina Real Estate Blog Brawl.  It is being sponsored by my friends in Raliegh that sponsor rebarcamp - Raleigh.  I was able to go up for their camp last year, which was a great event.  And this year they bumped up the ante a bit with their Blog Brawl. 
So... what I need from you...  Votes.  I just need your votes.  It will only take a moment.  Jump on over to the Carolina RE Blog Brawl post and check off the boxes next to my name.  … (12 comments)

re bar camp: #rebcATL - Are YOU In? - 08/08/10 04:19 PM
The very first rebarcamp in Atlanta is less than two months away.  And we are very proud to announce that registration is open on the brand spanking new website. 
We have had our FaceBook Fan Page up for a while now, but we weren't ready to open up registration...  And there hasn't been a lot of activity, but there is now... 
If you are in the southeast, or want to be, this should be a really cool event.  We plan on kickin' it old skool for this rebarcamp.  It will be a great time and aside from being an excellent networking … (1 comments)

re bar camp: rebarcamp Atlanta... A Date and A Venue... - 06/17/10 06:09 AM
and a FaceBook Page... and a Twitter Hashtag...
That's right, yesterday on the FaceBook Page for rebcAtlanta, we announced the date and location for the first ever rebarcamp Atlanta. 
Friday, October 1st, 2010
CoolRay Field, Home of the Gwinnett Braves
#rebcatl
At the moment, we are putting together the team that will put on the event.  The search for sponsors is underway.  In the next few days we will roll out registration.  It is a busy and exciting time for those of us that have learned so much from rebarcamps and want to extend the reach of the experience. 
So, you … (6 comments)

re bar camp: Small Business BarCamp Atlanta - 06/16/10 03:28 AM
Image via Wikipedia I am proud to say that I attended the very first REbarcamp, which was a real estate industry specific technology “unconference”.  Basically, the idea behind barcamp is that the conferees get together and create an agenda and then host the sessions.  It is an amazing peer-to-peer discussion.
Ken Cook, of Social Media Edge on BlogTalkRadio, had the vision to build a barcamp experience optimized for small business owners.  Many small businesses have found that ‘New Media’ has presented a very cool opportunity to promote… without spending loads of money.  In fact, many smaller businesses have found that they … (4 comments)

re bar camp: A little more about an Atlanta rebarcamp - 04/22/10 05:17 PM
I still haven't kicked this idea. 
But that doesn't mean it is a certainty, yet.  There are a lot of details to be worked out, such as venue, if there will be a cost and the exact date.  Of course, there also needs to be a team to make it happen. 
But before we put together a team and start scouting venues and getting all of the details in place, there are about 3,572 questions.  Here are the first 8...

re bar camp: Should Atlanta have a reBarCamp? - 04/20/10 02:44 PM
The Atlanta market is the home to REtechSouth, the premiere real estate technology conference in the Southeast.  It draws some of the best experts in Technology and Social Networking for real estate in the country.  I'm not going to even try to name all of the incredible speakers that come to RETSO, because I would miss a favorite... 
Several hundred real estate professionals came from all over the Southeast... and beyond... to learn the latest in tech and touch.  It was two amazing days of learning and networking.  I have been to all three RETSO events, and hope to make it … (6 comments)

re bar camp: Want to have Breakfast? - 03/18/10 03:03 PM
Social Media Breakfast - Atlanta has been plugging along since July, 2009.  We have met every month since then, except for December... in locations around Atlanta.  We have discussed topics ranging from Twitter to FaceBook Fan Pages, Posterous and Tumblr to Gist and gool ol' fashioned email. 
And we are still at it...  The technology keeps evolving and sites keep popping up and disappearing... 
The next Social Media Breakfast - Atlanta (#smbATL) event will be on Wednesday, March 24th, 2010 from 8:00 to 10:00am. 
If you are coming into town for REtechSouth (discounted tickets, affiliate link), and will be in … (1 comments)

re bar camp: RETSO? Less than Two Weeks... - 03/14/10 02:54 PM
It just struck me this evening that RETSO (REtechSouth) is less than two weeks away.  In fact... 11 days. 
Just a couple of days ago I saw a message on FaceBook mentioning that the MVP tickets were sold out.  These are the cool tickets that will get the holder into the Speaker's Dinner and a bunch of other cool stuff... 
But I still have the standard tickets available at 10% off...  That would be $161.10 (+$4.03 for the service fee).  These are good for all of the sessions... and there are a LOT of really cool learning opportunities. 
And this year... … (1 comments)

re bar camp: WordPress and Joomla and Active Rain... oh my! - 01/13/10 04:20 AM
It is obvious to everyone in the real estate business by now that the future of marketing revolves around the internet... and websites.  And the "Yester-tech" of a static website isn't going to cut it.  The days of "My broker provides me with a website at www.myname.brokerage.com" are gone.  And honestly, the days of a site coded purely in html are pretty toasted as well...  The new paradigm is what are referred to as Dynamic Websites.  Dynamic sites are exemplified by blogs, web magazines and other sites that are continually updated and interactive. 
Back in "the day", a website was little … (19 comments)

re bar camp: Happy New Year to my AR Peeps... - 12/31/09 02:34 PM
It's funny... and fun.  I'm sitting here on the couch fielding questions from the 5 year old... he is really tired, but wants to ring in the New Year... we have 55 minutes to go.  My phone has been vibrating with text messages all evening... friends from the Rain, from outside of the Rain... family... all wishing me a Happy New Year and saying hello. 
Life is good... 
Over the last couple of years, I have had the opportunity... the wonderful opportunity... to meet with scores of my friends from here on Active Rain, as well as others from the … (8 comments)

re bar camp: RE WordCamp... Cool. - 12/22/09 03:22 PM
You've been to an rebarcamp or three...
You have decided that you want to have a WordPress blog AND know how to use it...
You think blogging is fun and cool... and a great way to connect with your market...
 
I just ran across this little gem, and wish I was closer to Denver.  I would definately be up for it.  I love my WordPress blogs.  It is a cool platform, and has a tremendous amount of flexibility.  I still love Active|Rain, but have been on WordPress for two years. 
There are so many options... one of the big issues … (7 comments)

What do you get when you take 9 real estate pros in 4 states, Skype, DimDim and a blustery Thursday? 
Mini-Bar Camp...
Half BarCamp, half accountibility group and half implementation assistance hotline, we "met" for almost 7 hours of hardcore tech and sales talk.  Four of us were in the Atlanta area, so we all got together in a reasonably central location during the camp.  The other agents, in North Carolina, Tennessee and Alabama all called in. 
Each person "presented" at some point during the day and we had some wide-open discussion periods as well.  While we had planned on … (16 comments)

re bar camp: REtechSouth Tickets on sale NOW! and I have a discount... - 12/04/09 05:30 AM
Are you planning on hitting REtechSouth in Atlanta?  As usual, I have a discount code for tickets.  Brad Nix gave me the hook-up to deliver a 10% discount (affiliate link... that is where the discount comes from) on all ticket levels.  Here is how it breaks down:
All Star Admission $134.10 + $3.35 EventBrite fee.  This is normally a $149 ticket.  It includes event access on both Thursday, Mar. 25th and Friday, Mar. 26th.  It will get you in to all of the learning sessions...  You can see folks like Jeff Turner, Amy Chorew, Brad Carroll, Ilyse Glink and Heather Elias... … (4 comments)

re bar camp: Implementation Day... - 11/17/09 11:41 PM
One of the things I find useful after a great day of tech training is to take a day to concentrate on implementation. 
#VREBC...  COOL!
Hundreds of "tech forward" real estate professionals around the country took time out of their schedule to attend one or more of DOZENS of webinars for Virtual rebarcamp.  But it doesn't matter if the event is an rebarcamp, REtechSouth, RainCamp or something else... the idea is the same. 
Learning is cool... but IMPLEMENTATION is KEY!
Taking a decmpression day is a good idea.  When I am done, I have hundreds of ideas and notes and possibilities … (9 comments)
