We're Back!
Introducing the 2nd Edition of Virtual Real Estate BarCamp.

Our first event was such a success, we decided to parlay the momentum into the launch of another.

January 4th - 9am until 4pm PST
9 Hours, 28 Incredible Speakers, 1000s of Attendees!

It's Free!

What Is Virtual BarCamp?
How Do I Register?
Who Is Speaking (To be determined)
How Can I Sponsor?

In an effort to always improve, we have made some changes to the event format:

There will be 4 Webinar Rooms (previously there were just 3 rooms).
Presentations will be 45 minutes in length (previously they were 30 mins).
Total number of Speakers: 28 (we had 27 last event).
Each Webinar Room will have its own accompanying Live Chat Room (previously there was just one).
Session Topics will be chosen by our Registered Attendees (last time it was first come first serve).
Session Presenters will be selected by us (last time it was first come first serve).
Sessions will be recorded (we were unable to record last time).

VREBCdnmWe have boosted our goals for the event as well:

Registered Attendees: 3000 (previous: 1000, actual 1928)
In-Office Events: 100 (previous: 40, actual: 71)
In-Real-Life MeetUps: 50 (previous: 20, actual: n/a)
Number of Sponsors: 15 (previous: 10, actual: 13)

We have a new website: www.VirtualBarCamp.com

Just because we hold virtual, online events doesn’t mean that we can’t create an incredibly social community.  One of the best aspects of the BarCamp atmosphere is the ability to connect, network, meet and mingle.  We took this into great consideration as we planned out the architecture and user experience of our new website.

The tighter the community, the greater opportunity we all have to learn, network and teach. Get involved by involving others!

If you have any other suggestions on how we can improve on our first effort, please let us know!

The virtual versions of these camps are great for those that don't have one in their area and it is opened up nationally. Now if we can have the "nirvana" of these camps with "taped" or "replayed" sessions. Then I can attend them in my free hours at 3 a.m. in the morning. Ah, one can dream <Smile>. I see in the description they do say they are recorded, now just to find out how to access that.

Hi Jim,

I just re-blogged this. FYI, here are my comments:

If you missed the first VREBC, hurry and sign up! This free event offers a plethora of high-value info at a fabulous price-FREE! It's easy to register (just click the link below).

Jim Cronin of Real Estate Tomato is the founder and creator of the event.

More rooms, more presentation times, plus live chat rooms (and recorded sessions available afterwards) make for an even better event. See you there Jan. 4th!

I'm really looking forward to it!  The first one was a lot of fun and I learned a ton of new stuff.  I just wish I could have been in more than one at a time!

It was a great time the first one.  I wrote several blogs about it.  It looks like they addressed my complaint, making sure they had the right speakers for the topic.

This is my first one.  I changed my 92 y.o. dad's doctor's appointment to the following day so I could attend.  Hope lightening doesn't strike me for that!
