REBarCamp Denver Attracts Headliners!

REBarCamp Denver is proud to welcome real estate icons.

Jeff Turner, wears many hats, he is the founder of Real Estate Shows and serves on the Advisory Board of the newly formed   Social Media Marketing Institute. Jeff is a thought leader and a man who influences many with his actions. Alongside his businesses, he makes time to spread the word righting wrongs, as in Child Slavery and supporting his wife, Rocky in her mission to enlist mothers to organize and help others in need.  Together the Turners are sending a message to us all that we as individuals can make a difference.  Jeff is known in the industry as having the ability to take a very complex subject and break it down into understandable concepts for use in business.  Last year Jeff Turner was a hit at Realtor Rally when he not only filled the room, but had to literally be pulled off the stage due to his popularity. So if you were one of the many who couldn’t get enough of Jeff Turner’s wisdom, come to REBC on May 22!  As our esteemed Master of Ceremonies, Jeff will get REBC off to a great start!

Todd Carpenter will be surprised to see a promo of himself here.  Todd is the maker of the original BarCamp website (the one you are reading right now).  He twisted my arm to do a REBC in Denver than took off for a new job in Chicago, seldom to be heard from again (ok I’m kidding, he calls and cracks the whip!).  Todd is a perfect example of how blogging can change your life.  A few years ago, Todd began a mortgage broker blog called Lenderama, his little blog grew into a national sensation, attracting mortgage bloggers from across the nation.  Since then Todd has organized Denver’s first Blog Fiesta and the REBlog World in Las Vegas.  As mentioned, Todd is now gainfully employed at a place we bloggers refer to as “the darkside” aka N.A.R.  Yes, Todd Carpenter is N.A.R.’s first Social Media Director! Way cool Todd!  It’s so great to have friends in high places!

Teresa Boardman of St. Paul Real Estate Blog fame has also made her RSVP to attend camp. Teresa is a Realtor, Blogger and Photographer.  Her success is evident in all her writings from her personal blog, to her mobile blog, her musings on Agent Genius, The Real Estate Weenie and Inman Blog. Teresa’s first love is photography and using Flickr to post photos and network.  She wants to present a session for us on Flickr.  Those who attend will be in for a treat, because no one knows their way around Flickr better than T!  And if we are very, very nice to T, she might even tell us who REALLY writes her blogs and takes all those photos, as we all know one person can’t really do all that work!

Dave Smith is flying in from Tucson, AZ to join us as well. Dave is the Director of IT, Realtor, Photographer and all round nice guy who developed Tucson Real Estate for his wife Barbara Lasky.  At my incessant begging, Dave has agreed to present a session on how to do HDR photography so snap a few pics, bring your lap top and sit in on Dave’s session!  Examples of Dave’s photography can be found on his Painting Tucson Blog. A quick glance at his work will more that convince you of his artistic talent with a camera.  Dave is a dial-up geek, he writes The Real Estate Blog Lab where we all go to learn the stuff Dave probably invented.  For you photogs out there, Dave can be tempted to do a Photo Walk in Denver.  Lucky for us he doesn’t like shooting people, but he’s a master of the desert, flowers, buildings and things that generally don’t move.  Maybe, just maybe we can take him out Friday night for some one on one photography tips.

Brad Andersohn of Active Rain is yet another outstanding addition to the REBC line up. Brad is a perfect example of how far one can go when applying oneself to learning technology.  I remember when Brad came on the blogging scene, he was deleting comments on his blog because people were responding!  It didn’t take long for him to discover that was actually the point.  Now Brad is well versed in more technology than I can remember. He has an amazing collection of “Top FREE Picks” posts on Active Rain  is worthy of bookmarking and studying.  When you want to learn a new technique or two, check out Brad’s blog on Active Rain, or better yet, just subscribe to him and read everything he writes. I can assure you, you won’t regret being a follower.  Brad is a true giver and I’m delighted to welcome him to Denver on Friday, May 22, 2009.

Have your RSVP’d yet?
