Last year I went and spoke at Raincamp Seattle and then was also co-hosted the Portland meet-up. Now, the meet-up was nice, it gave me a chance to finally meet some of my fellow Rainers that prior to then I had only had a chance to talk with on the phone or via email.
But, Raincamp on the other hand not only got me in contact with some great Rainers, it also gave me the chance to learn some new technology from fellow Rainers and other internet experts. But, Raincamps came to a halt in 2011 because of the cost of the events to put on.
But, what if we were to have our own local Raincamps once or twice a year where top bloggers get together and share new ideas while bigger companies come in and share their new technology with the top agents in the area.
I know for sure I would be willing to help host an event like that here in Oregon and with the help of some of my fellow Rainers, I think we could do this in other areas of the county. So, if you are on board and think this is something you would like to do in your area.
Tell me and I’m going to try to organize it with some top technology companies and see if we can get them to come to our local events. Even though they won’t get as many as attendees as say a Seattle Raincamp, they certainly would get more than they have without having them like they are planning to do now.
