It's only 32 days away and I can't wait. The idea of having a real estate bar camp in our own Southern California region is just too exciting. I've not been able to attend any of the others, but given how popular they are, this one should really be special, given all the talent we have in the area. I'm even giving up going to the SDAR Real Estate Trade Expo on April 2 in San Diego (where we always have a SoCal CRS booth) 

We're calling it REBarCamp Los Angeles, although it is not really in LA. Who cares.

So here are the deets: 

WHEN: April 2, 2009 

WHERE: Pasadena Hilton (that's Irina Netchaev's territory, and others' too!)

168 South Los Robles Avenue
Pasadena, CA 91101

TIME: 9:00am to 4:00pm

COST: FREE, now THAT's a deal!!

WHO?: Anyone who wants to be there, but I can tell you that it will be a star-studded line-up, just knowing some of the peeps who will be there, which includes some of my fave bloggers in CA and nearby states.

I'm proud that the Southern California Chapter of CRS will be a sponsor. As a member of the Board of Directors, I presented the sponsorship possibility at our last BOD meeting and it was passed unanimously. So you can look forward to a bunch of us CRS folks there, and if you are interested in learning more about CRS, or want to join our Chapter (modestly, I would say we are one of THE BEST chapters but I'm biased) we will have plenty of information for you.

And our support of REBarCampLA further demonstrates our Chapter's commitment to technology for our membership. You can keep up with the news about our Chapter on the blog I author - SoCalCRSBlog.
