We just returned from RE Bar Camp in Seattle at 2:00 a.m. this morning and are still psyched about the event. We also attended the Bloodhound Event on Thursday afternoon.
Someone described RE Bar as a
"Spontaneous, Eclectic Event of people who are passionate about what they know and are willing to share freely with those that are hungry to know."
That is definitely the case. We were able to meet a lot of fellow Active Rainers and learned about Blogging, Social Media Marketing, SEO, and Websites from the top in the business.
Some of the Speakers included:
- Jim Marks from Virtual Results,
- Drew Meyers, Rich Barton, David Gibbons, and Stan from Zillow,
- A Debate between Greg Swann of Bloodhound Blogs and Glenn Kelman from Redfin, (More on this later)
- Mike Simonsen and Scott Sambucci from Altos Research,
- Greg Swann and Brian Brady from Bloodhound Blogs, and
- Rich Jacobson and Brad Andersohn from Active Rain, and a panel of top bloggers - Marlow Harris, Rhonda Porter, and Brad Coy.
Needless to say from the list of presenters, there was a lot of brain power in the building! We left with so many new ideas, it's hard to decide which one to start on first.
And, thanks to being on ActiveRain for the past two years, we also felt like we're on the right track with our marketing plan and that we have the basics in place. Now we're ready to apply these new tools to expand our online presence.
The event was held at Zillow headquarters in downtown Seattle with breathtaking views of the Sound and the skyline.
People are still Twittering about the event at #REBCSEA.
Thank you to everyone who helped put this event together, to ActiveRain for sponsoring, the speakers, and for Zillow for the perfect meeting space.
