MeetUps, January 19th-24th - Can You Host?

By
Services for Real Estate Pros with ActiveRain, Community Manager

Thank you to all who voted on which week works best for our next round of MeetUps.  We have a clear winner with January 19-24 claiming over 50% of the votes.

So...now it's time to get all our ducks in a row, quack quack!

I am looking for hosts who are available and willing.  Never hosted a MeetUp before?  All it takes is a little planning.  Here's what's involved:

  • Choose a date between January 19th and 24th
  • Choose a venue (many have luck with restaurants, bars & coffee shops)
  • Choose a time (many have luck with lunches, happy hours and even breakfasts)
  • Fill out the form below

Everyone is on their own for food/drink so nothing more is asked of the host other than planning the details, spreading the word through blogging (I'll market the list of MeetUps to the community as well) and taking names of all the Rainers that attend so I can award points.

Hosts will receive 2,500 points and all attendees will receive 1,000!

Get out from behind the computer and come hang with some of the greatest people on this planet.  

If you're able to host, please fill out the form below.  I'll soon compile a list of all the MeetUps and add news ones as they come along.  Deadline is January 9th.

Kerrie -- Thanks for deciding to do these after Christmas. I am with Debbie #51.  It can be difficult to get to multiple meetups as much as we want to go! A longer meetup window should be considered.

Looks like Praful has the Greater Boston area covered.  I'm going to try to make it if the weather cooperates.

I have been to a couple in Columbus, OH in the previous years.  Absolutely a fabulous event to share what's working and what's not.  Even if its a 90 minute drive oneway, its worth it

Kerrie - I try to attend Debbie Gartner's and Dagny's and would like to attend others but conflicts get in the way.  Debbie Gartner makes a good point of spreading out over a period of longer than one week.

Looking forward to seeing the list!   Unfortunately, my town of Tallahassee, even though it is the Capital of Florida, is just too isolated for a meetup.
