Carra, at the very least I can say we got it first this year in NYC, and I'm sure by the time yu got the presentation it was even better. So much to absorb in such a short time, plus meet the people we see on line daily. Hope you 'Had a Blast!

Carra,

Glad that you attended.  It's a really wonderful one of a kind conference.  Dallas was so Vegas must have been also.

Anna and Jane ~  It was fun.. be sure to check out Christine Donovan's post on the event!  She did a great job!

Russel ~  Vegas is the place to party.. that is for sure.. but we learned at the same time!

Dale ~ It was fun to meet some of the people we see daily online!

Karen ~ It was great to meet you and I look forward to reading your posts! So happy you felt it was all worth it! Gives new meaning to networking in the entry line!  LOL... people to know with water.

Susan ~ You make a good point that people should come when the raincamp comes to their area!

Jeff ~  I think there is a raincamp coming to CA soon.. check at Activerain University

Virginia ~  You know they talked about you at camp.. all good!  Just said you OWNED the Mesquite area I think.

Ed ~  We had a great learning time!  Will take weeks to sort all out.. but do check out Christine Donovan's post with all the links!

Bill ~ We wish you were there too.. maybe next time!

Sheldon ~  Bob was SMOOTH... much better than the 1st time I met him in Phoenix where he forgot his socks and his computer died!

Ron & Alexandra ~  It was so full of information! 

Pam ~  We talked about you!  I also talked about you at the BHC lunch and learn.. you should have some Realtors calling you!

June ~ Keep lobbying for Atlanta... so much new information!

Stephen ~ It will be worth your while!

Judi ~ I am thinking they just keep getting better as they learn too!

Erica ~  Thanks for the tweet!  felt like you were there!

Christine ~ It took me so long to create that video.. with all the users at the UNLV Student Center the connection was SLOW.... so took awhile to get it up...Your post is so helpful.  I have included a link for everyone to see.. you had almost every link they talked about.. my favorite was Klout.com  Did you get your score?  I need to make better tweets and get more engagement for a higher score.

Christianne... it was great to get to meet you too! You are as beautiful person as in the picture!  We can all hang out in cbyerspace now!  I was just going over all the information and deciding how much information to put on each post!  I have a fun post coming up on foursquare.  I was tweeting from the event and got some ethical questions in the twittersphere which I will address in a new post about "social space & ethics"  How is that for a new word? social space?

I think I took a video of you.. I will get it to you.. so much video.. so little time.. better get back to work!

You went to Las Vegas without me? LOL. I spent the last week working on a listing, which I got today, so it was a great week, ending on a great Sunday!
