Kickstart your 2010 business plan by starting the year with an event that will fill your head with new ideas and introduce you to people who are making things happen!  If you are located in Southern California, you are invited to come and join us in person for Virtual REBarCamp Meetup in Costa Mesa on Jan 4, 2010 beginning at 9am.  Virtual RE BarCamp (VREBC) is a free event that draws 3,000 participants from across the United States who come together via a webinar format to learn about the opportunities social media and technology offer Realtors today.   There are four concurrent webinar rooms running different curriculum.  But there is no need to transfer between virtual training rooms on your computer – we’re going to have the entire event – all four tracts – available to you in one place.   Each tract will be projected in a different room at our event location.  Float between each room during the day, depending on the topic that interests you.  And, lunch will be provided.  Why would you sit at home alone for this great event?  Instead, mingle, network and learn with others who share your curiosity and interest in understanding how social media can support their business in 2010.

This meetup is hosted by Pango Group representative Eric Bryant (”TheRECoach“). As a blogger and power social media user, Eric understands the business opportunities social media provides to Realtors.  He is a outstanding resource on the real estate social media scene and will be facilitating discussions about the content presented during the day.  In addition one of the VREBC Presenters herself, Stacey Harmon, will be running her session “Facebook Tools & Tricks:  Separating Personal from Professional” live from the venue.  This is a great opportunity to make a personal connection with two knowledgeable social media resources.  Come and pick their brain!
