Virtual REBarCamp TOMORROW! Ask your questions now

Real Estate Agent with RE/MAX Allegiance, Managing Broker/Branch Vice President

Tomorrow, Tuesday November 17th is the Virtual REBarCamp.  I'm thrilled to be participating as one of the presenters in this educational event.  (Thank God I'm over the flu.  Sleeping all weekend and cancelling clients and social activities was no fun!)

Virtual REBarCamp

Over 1300 real estate professionals from around the country are already registered to listen to over 2 dozen of the most respected educators in the real estate industry discuss everything from ActiveRain, Facebook and Blogging to Branding, Twitter and Flickr.  Topics will include evertthing to do with real estate and technology.

I'll personally be hosting a session at 10:45 PST (1:45 EST here on the East Coast) called "Broker's View: Best Uses of Social Media within Your Brokerage"  My purpose for this session is to teach how brokers and brokerages can use the tools of social media to help recruit and retain agents, keep in touch and monitor their agents' online activities, discuss social media policies for brokerages, and other relevant issues.

Click here to listen to an online preview interview about my session at Virtual REBarCamp.

IMPORTANT: Due to the nature of the webinars and the huge amount of attendees, it will not be possible to field questions during the webinar itself.  Thus, I am soliciting input in advance.  Please comment here with questions or topics you would like to see addressed tomorrow.  Or send me a private e-mail with a question or DM or @ me on Twitter.  Whichever way you contact me, I will try my best to address your specific question during my session tomorrow at the Virtual REBarCamp.

Here's a description of the Virtual Real Estate BarCamp straight from the website:

Virtual Real Estate BarCamp is a 1-Day Learning Extravaganza.
From 9 a.m. until 4 p.m. PST, three concurrent webinar "rooms" will each host 9 different sessions, for a total of 27 different presentations.

There is something for everyone and everything for someone, and best of all, IT IS FREE and attendance is unlimited!

We've registered and are excited to be a part of Virtual RE Bar Camp.  We have a lot of brokers that ask what they can do to encourage their agents to use social media.  Curious as to what thoughts you have regarding that particular issue.

Yes, I, too, think this is a "breat" opportunity. In fact, I think it's a very good opportunity to learn and have some fun, too.

Tried to get it to work today.  Powerpoint worked, not the audio even though I tried to go into the audio and see if the speakers were working (which they were).  I was sorely disappointed!

It was pretty good today. I think they need to look up new presenters. Some of these presentations are getting old.
