Real Estate BarCamp Attracts Social Media Elite From Colorado & Beyond!

Real Estate BarCamp Denver will be in for treat on Friday, May 22, 2009.

Lorelle VanFossen, author of Lorelle on WordPress will be joining the sessions, first presenting on building blog content and community.  She discusses the ever important question of how to get the content and more importantly how to engage in conversation that leads to a conversion.

Lorelle’s work is extensive, in addition to being an accomplished author, she writes a very informative blog on WordPress, the popular open-source blogging platform.  Anyone who had ever searched for an answer to a WordPress blog issue will find Lorelle in the results!  She discusses everything from plugins, to themes and code.

Mid-day Lorelle will join Teresa Boardman and Justin Smith as they Judge in the “Blog Idol” contest, where they will dissect several blogs as an entertaining learning experience for all.

There is no doubt about it, Lorelle will be an exciting addition to the All-Star line up at Real Estate BarCamp Denver.

Social media tools expand beyond the written word.  Podcasting is an example of a medium many people are using to create community. A Denver local, Dave Moyer will be presenting to us the ins and outs of Podcasting.

Dave is no stranger to the topic, he has depth in the topic that comes from experience, in fact he hosts the web’s top WordPress and blogging podcast, WordCast. The show which is co-hosted with Kym Huynh in Australia interviews top developers, designers and coders within the WordPress community.

Dave designs and develops all the blogs for his various podcasts and sites.  Dave uses his communication skills to review on a tech news blog Ars Technica.  It’s no wonder with all his activities Dave has taken over the basement of his home to house the ever-expanding volume of tech toys and equipment necessary to fuel his business and his passion.

Of course that’s ok, his parents don’t mind.  If Dave was my 16-year old, I’d get out of the way too!

Just before hoping on a plane to do a Social Media Trip to Hawaii, Jim Turner, of One By One Media will be spending the day with us in the Mile High.  Jim is a resident of Metro Denver, when he heard about Real Estate BarCamp way back in February, he wanted to come participate.

He is no stranger to social media.  Jim began blogging in early 2004 and soon became very passionate about it.  As with most successful people, Jim decided to turn his passion into a means to support his family.  With that decision he began helping other enterprises enter the blogosphere.  As a consultant, Jim successfully helped his clients change the way they view marketing, advertising and public relations.

Jim is currently the Social Media Director and Conference Director of Blog World and New Media Expo, and on the Executive Board of The International Blogging and New Media Association (IBNMA).

If you are interested in learning more about “participatory marketing using social media,” be sure to sit in on Jim’s session.

Twitter has been around for a couple years now, but just recently has been recognized by main stream media.  In Colorado the guy to watch is Rob McNealy, who currently holds the top Twitter spot.  Rob will be joining us on Friday to share his thoughts and strategies on using Twitter and social media to gain more visibility.

Rob has been self-employed since 2004 and uses social media to expand both his low tech business and his marketing company.  As a blogger, podcaster, speaker, writer and a funny guy, Rob will be interesting and informative.

Philadelphia is famous for three things, Cheese Steak Sandwiches, the Liberty Bell and Bill Lublin.  OK, so everyone may not remember the Liberty Bell the certainly they know Bill!  He is a REALTOR® and actively involved in leadership at N.A.R., a regular at Real Estate Bar Camps across the country and a founder of the newly formed Social Media Institute.  Bill knows real estate ethics (he chaired the committee last year) and is equally comfortable discussing sports, social media or Google MLS Scraping and the C.O.E. Yes, he’s both an interesting and fun guy!

On Friday Bill will share with us the philosophy behind using the currency of Wuffie.  If you aren’t familiar with this, you are in for a treat.  Capitalizing the currency of social media comes from putting “social” into the mix. Contrary to what many believe building a business is not about broadcasting how good you are, but demonstrating how much you care.  Bill will teach us the value of Wuffie and how to accumulate it.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The best part about REBarCamp will be the accessibility of all the speakers.  If you meet them in the hall, be sure to greet them.  They want to chat with you as much as you do them.

Let’s network!

Be there 8:30 registration begins.
