There are times I feel somewhat overtaken by an event where I am surrounded by people who are not only smart and accomplished, but people I can sit in a room with and say, my god these people really "get it".
You know the types; the kind of people who - through their unique set of experiences, and skill are redefining an industry from where it has been into a future that we are just now discovering together.
Well, after experiencing my first RE BarCamp this last week in Philadelphia, I can say without doubt that the future is bright, and the people leading us there are not only qualified, but inspiring.
Now for those of you have not experienced a Bar Camp let me give you the official meaning from those who created it: RE Bar Camp is an ad-hoc gathering born from the desire for people to share and learn in an open environment. It is an intense event with discussions, demos, and interaction from attendees.
Now that is the official version. What it is really is a mind blowing, high octane 24 hour sprint of people just like you! It is not about being a techie, or a kid, or being sold services or toys that cost money. NO - RE BarCamp is a free event that represents the philosophy of the change we all want to be a part of and having the realization in knowing you are not alone.
So, if you consider yourself an innovator, or a person who not only believes in but strives to be a Realtor of consequence for the next generation of our industry, then I dare you - go to the next event. Who knows, maybe like me, you'll discover you're not as smart or unique as you thought you were. And in that comes the epiphany.
you
