Hi Steph from Qwest. I sure wish you’d been around last week when 3 or 4 people from Qwest blew me off. I spent a long time on the phone with Qwest, getting routed from one person to another. Several told me “I’ll call you back” and never did.

So Qwest lost the opportunity to provide wifi to this event (and the fact that you posted here at 4:24pm on the day of the event — that ended at 4:30 — wasn’t much help to be perfectly honest.)

The (complete lack of) service I got from Qwest pretty much ensures I won’t be recommending them to anyone for something like this.

Session: Using Photos To Make Your Blog Pop!

Description of Session: As a practitioner (and lousy writer) I use pictures to attract clients to my blog. Let’s have a discussion on photo tips and tried and true way to generate relocation traffic to your blog.

I can share the how to and the why but want to hear about the success of others.

Round table discussions rock because we all learn from each other.

I work in Social Media, and have used it to help buld relationships in the real estate industry, meet buyers, and raise the visibility of homes for sale. I am looking forward to learning and sharing tomoorow. I could facilitate a number of discussions around the above, as well as lead in depth discussion of what social media is, how to build your brand, find your target audience, what SM can and cant do and how to be successful on twitter and linkedin. No projector needed, hapy to help in any way.

As a national technology speaker in the real estate industry I am intrigued by barcamp, especially its grass roots origins. I am interested in attending both as a participant and perhaps as a facilitator if needed. I can offer many topics from contact management to digital cameras and virtual tours. I am on a fact finding mission to find REAL EXAMPLES OF SOCIAL NETWORKING SUCCESS STORIES for my speaking engagements and for my members website RealEstateTechnologyExperts.com. I would be delighted to facilitate an open discussion along the lines of: Social Networking, The Real Deal for Business or the Worst Distraction Since They Put Solitaire on Computers? I will be speaking at NAR in November and have spoken at hundreds of industry events in the past 14 years. I have my own projector and speakers if needed. I plan on attending all day.

Jay-
We could probably combine the social media sessions Stacey and I added to this list. Just depends on how many people want to discuss it and how many sessions we need to do to accommodate everyone.
