REBAR Camp Virginia returns to Virginia Beach as part of the VAR Real Show on October 6th from 10:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. at The Westin in the heart of Virginia Beach’s Town Center. Registration is free and can be done at http://rebarcamp.com/virginia/. Okay – those are the stats. But why should you go? Why am I so excited about REBAR again?
Well, it’s all because Tina Merritt (and friends like Damien Steiner Smith and others), one of the luminaries of technology, social media and real estate has decided to return REBAR Camp to its roots. A turn away from instructor-led Power Point presentations and one-way conversations…back to what REBAR has always stood for. The opportunity to network, to exchange ideas with the best and brightest thought leaders who can help answer the questions: “What are you working on right now?” and “What are the challenges you are facing today?”.
REBAR Virginia Beach promises to be raw. To get down to the actionable items and not just skim the surface. But you’d better come prepared. Prepared to have your conventional thinking challenged. Prepared to participate. Prepared to attend the after-party and really get to network with your peers and some of the industry’s finest. Is that a lot to ask? Maybe so if all you had planned to do was to come by and enjoy the finest views in the Commonwealth from the 30th floor of Virginia’s tallest building. Granted, the venue alone is worth the price of admission. But your time and expertise is worth a helluva lot more than that. So come. Spread the word. Be open. Share. The return will be immeasurable.

Yes, there will be a RE Bar Camp Virginia 2011. We are in the VERY early planning stages and here is what we have thus far:
Date: October 6, 2011
Place: Somewhere in Virginia Beach
Time: about 10am until around 4pm
After party: definitely
Sponsors: we need them!
About: our goal is to go back to the grass roots of REBAR. While we don’t know all the details yet, this event will be free of charge for attendees, it won’t be a huge event, we’ll try to feed everyone if we can afford it and the event will embrace the unselfish sharing of information among participants. I don’t know if you will get a t-shirt nor do I know if we will even have name tags…but I plan to be there and I hope you will too.
