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.

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.

Instead, mingle, network and learn with others who share your curiosity and interest in understanding how social media can support their business in 2010.
