The first ever Virtual REBarCamp was held yesterday and if you were one of the more than 2,000 people that attended there’s a few people you need to thank (so do I).
The Organizers
First off – the boys at Real Estate Tomato. Jim Cronin, Jason Benesch, Daniel Bates and Chris Hotz organized the event, secured the speakers, setup the technology. Once it started, these three were working feverishly behind the scenes to make sure each and every session went off as planned.
The Presenters
Then there were the session presenters. Unlike a typical REBarCamp, having a roundtable discussion was impossible. That said, most of the presenters provided solid content with little sales (yes, there were a few who went spammy). Remember, each and every one of these people took valuable time out of their day to provide valuable educational content for you.
Here’s a list of the presenters and the topics they covered.

The Attendees
As the Rockstars always say, it’s the crowd that makes the show a success. Almost 2,000 people registered for the event – add to it those that didn’t register but went to a live in office Meetup (71 Meetups Registered) and it’s safe to say this event made an impact on a few people. Kudos for you if you attended!
