REBarCamp Thank You’s.

Wow, what a week. I have to say that I was very nervous as to the success for REBarCamp. But I have to hand it to Andy, he came up with a truly awesome idea. I would have considered 50 people attending to be a success. It was closer to 200.

When it comes to feedback, some the the bloggers I respect the most were calling it the best conference they had ever attended. We were the buzz of the Inman conference over the next week, and the sheer number of people following, greeting, and thanking us for the event is mind blowing.

I’d thank to thank a few people. I’m sure I’ll miss some folks. My head is still spinning. So I apologize if I miss you.

Andy Kaufman deserves ultimate credit for this event. He thought it up, organized it, and did most of the work.

Brad Coy put in a ton of local work in San Francisco. He was largely responsible for keeping things moving on Tuesday.

Mike Price put in a lot of work from the beginning. He also put his talents into designing our awesome logo.

Jay Thompson was our accountant so to speak. Thanks for handling the money Jay.

Jeff Turner, Jason Burman, Matt Bowe, Justin McHood, Nick Bastien for helping us setup on Monday.

Jason and Matt also manned the registration desk for much of the day, but we also had help from Rudy Bachraty, Cindy Linn, Sarah Fields, Kristal Kraft, Kelley Koehler, and Ben Martin.

Mike Mueller, Teresa Boardman, Kevin Boer, Kris Berg, Matt Fagioli, Jim Cronin, Daniel Martin, Frances Flynn Thorsen, Mark Eckenrode, Joe Ferrara, Dustin Luther, Jeff Brown, Jeff Turner and at least a few others all lead discussions. I know I missed a few here. So let me know and I’ll edit this list.

I want to thank the gang at Inman for being so cooperative. It looks like that relationship will be even stronger next time. I also want to thank all of the sponsors, who are linked to the the right.

Thanks to everyone who contributed content to REBarCampLive! Also thanks to Derick Overby for live streaming coverage of the event. He was using an awesome new tool called qik that I can’t wait to try out at REBlogWorld on my iPhone.

I also want to thank Danial Rothamel, along with Gia and Grant Freer from Realseekr for the trading cards gifts. What an awesome idea.

Finally, I want to thank everyone who came to the event. I put quit a few hours into this, and at one point last month, was really questioning if it was going to be worth it. It was, and so much more.
