RE BarCamp SF Sponsors Needed

It’s RE BarCamp’s 3rd Birthday!  Since RE BarCamp started, more than 30 events have taken place across the United States and Canada and thousands of people have attended.

We will be celebrating at the Third Annual RE BarCamp San Francisco on July 12, 2010.  We are committed to keep this fantastic event free for attendees.  In order to do so, we are in need of a few generous sponsors to help us out.  Sponsorship fees will cover our event venue, coffee, water, PA system and other miscellaneous event expenses.  Event organizers are volunteers and do not make any money on the event.

The recommended donation amount is $250 and can be made here.  All sponsors get a free ticket to the event because…the event is free!  We will list your name on the sidebar and on signage at the event.

Thanks for your support!

Real Estate BarCamp SF 2010 is ON for July 12th!

Ginger, Brad, I, along with the rest of the #REBCSF team is proud to announce that the 3rd Annual Real Estate BarCamp SF will be held on July 12th, 2010 from 9:00-4:00 at the historic Fort Mason Center complex in San Francisco.

[Part of the REBCSF 09 Crew!]

Can you believe it’s only been two years since the first time we all met together for the first RE BarCamp?

Since that first event in SF, thousands of participants have taken part in over 30 local RE BarCamps events from coast to coast, all organized by local volunteers and supported by our generous sponsors.

We’ve had REBCs in Minor league baseball stadiums in Phoenix, Oceanfront bars in Orange County, NAR HQ in Chicago and Multi-million dollar listings in Miami Beach just to name a few and for the 3rd Annual RE BarCamp SF, we’ve found a venue that is uniquely ‘San Francisco’ and we’d love to have you join us.

The Details

What: The Third Annual RE BarCamp SF

When: July 12th from 9-4pm

Where: We have an amazing spot at the Fort Mason in San Francisco

Why: Why Not?

Who: Whoever comes. (But we hope to see you there)

Not to be upstaged..

There is no upstaging RE BarCamp San Francisco!  We are very excited to have a very cool team of Bay Area staging experts set to style our space for RE BarCamp San Francisco.

Alice T. Chan, Cindy Lin and Cort Furniture Rental are coming in to make RE BarCamp comfy.  We are fortunate to have a lot of space in the Trulia building and this fabulous team of staging experts is going to set up really cool seating vignettes for the event- some comfy cozy areas as well other fun surprises.  I heard a rumor we might even have some cool pub chairs like these…

Beer with Bloggers

It is hard to believe RE BarCamp San Francisco is just a few days a way!! We have a jam packed calendar for you during the day but you won’t be left behind in the evening either!

Zillow, Better Homes & Garden Real Estate and Inman News are hosting a  Pre-Inman Beer with Bloggers reception at Mighty.  The Beer with Bloggers is a kick off reception for the Inman Real Estate Connect San Francisco 2009.  No taxi’s required- Mighty is just across the street from RE BarCamp.

• When: Tuesday, August 4  6:00pm -8:00 p.m.
• Where: Mighty, 119 Utah Street, San Francisco

This is a great opportunity to network with people you met during the day as well as meet many of the speakers you will see on Wednesday at the Inman Bloggers Connect workshop.  Attendees registered for Inman Bloggers Connect get free drink tickets.

Special thanks to Zillow, Better Homes & Garden Real Estate and Inman News for hosting this great event!

The Taco Truck is coming!

Come to REBarcamp San Francisco with an empty stomach and an empty mind and we promise both will be filled beyond capacity when you leave! How cool is that?

Focusing on just the food and bev, let’s see how your day will go…

To start things off in the morning, get your caffeine fix thanks to the Center for REALTOR(R) Technology (CRT) who are supplying plenty of warm steamy bagels and hot fresh coffee to wash them down with. I don’t operate well without my morning pot of coffee.
Thanks CRT!

After a couple of morning sessions it will be time for a break. If you were at the very first REBarcamp you remember how wonderful lunch was. They’re doing it again thanks to Better Homes & Garden Real Estate! They are sponsoring lunch so you can stay right where you are, have a fabulous gourmet box lunch, and keep on barcamping.
A big “Yeah” for BHG!

Post lunch, the afternoon sessions will be fun and entertaining. Time will fly right on by. Before you know it – it’s almost time to head over to Beer with Bloggers. This year it’s being held at MIGHTY. Not some sleazy dive bar, far from it! It was voted Best New Club in America by URB Magazine! Beer for Bloggers is brought to you this year by both Zillow and Better Homes & Garden Real Estate.
Woot! Woot!

It all sounds great right? There’s a couple of problems…

It’s a daunting 312 feet from Trulia to Mighty.
REBCSF ends at 5 PM and Beer for Bloggers doesn’t start until 6 PM. After all you’ve just learned we know you might not make it. Your body needs sustenance and nourishment!

Oh, the Humanity!
What will you do?

We’ve got you covered.

Bring in the Taco Truck!

That’s right! A real “Roach Coach” will pull up in front of Trulia HQ just in time to save the day! I say “real” because the first couple of hundred through the registration that morning will also get a Limited Edition REBarcamp SF Paper Taco Truck!

While the paper taco truck is low in calories it is high in fiber.
I recommend the Fail Whale Fish Tacos – they’re delicious!.

On a serious note, think about this…

The REBarcamp experience is FREE, the knowledge openly shared is FREE, your coffee and breakfast is FREE, lunch is FREE (all thanks to our sponsors).  While your eternal gratitude will be greatly appreciated,  we would also like to tap into our RE community and make a difference in the lives of others.

How?

We would like you to donate what you might have spent on breakfast, lunch and or beer to a worthy cause.

REBCSF Raises the Bar – From 300 to 400 RSVP’S – 84 Spots Left

Due to popular demand, we have raised our RSVP total from 300 to 400 REBARCampers! With 84 spots left, there’s still time to get on our camp list so don’t delay.

See everyone next week!

Breakfast at RE BarCamp

If you are like me and need your morning caffeine, I have good news for you! I am pleased to announce that the Center for REALTOR(R) Technology (CRT) is sponsoring breakfast (coffee/bagels!) at RE BarCamp in addition to their collaboration with ConnectTech at the Inman conference.

In case you aren’t aware, CRT  is accepting nominations for their REALTOR(R) Technology Spotlight Award to recognize people who have shown a excellence and vision in their use of technology.  I don’t know about you, but I can think of a bunch of people on the RE BarCamp RSVP list who could and should be nominated for this cool award.

Can’t wait to see all of you visionaries in San Francisco and share a cup of joe!

Registration for RE BarCamp begins at 8:30.  Thanks CRT!!

P.S. Now you don’t have to buy that $12 pot of coffee in your hotel room thanks to CRT and you don’t have to buy lunch thanks to Better Homes & Garden Real Estate, so perhaps you have a few extra dollars to benefit our Housing for the Homeless campaign?  Even $10 or $15 will make a difference.
