“You buy the pizza, we’ll deliver the education”
Brokers, imagine providing your real estate agents the ability to learn from industry leaders, top marketing professionals and social media experts without leaving the office or paying for speakers to visit your destination.
This is what Virtual RE Bar Camp (VREBC) can do for your office.
Your entire office can get the educational experience that REBarCamps have provided to thousands of agents across the country. Bring the power of this event to your agents, without the cost and travel. The Ultimate Office Meeting.
Every brokerage is looking for new and unique ways to provide value to their agents. The Virtual REBarCamp is the solution:
Progressive Education: Stay relevant in this changing marketplace.
Diverse Content: There is something for everyone.
Nationally Celebrated and Recognized Presenters: Value!
All Day Event: Everyone should be able to participate with this schedule.
It’s Free: The price is right!
Suggestions for a successful, in-office RE BarCamp:
Projector screens and a strong audio source.
Separate rooms for the separate webinar channels (3).
A tech-savvy assistant or manager to ensure a smooth operation.
Computers dedicated to Social Media avenues (Facebook, Twitter, TomatoChat.com) allowing the office to get into the national conversation.
Pizza and refreshments.
The After-Event-MeetUp. Plan an off location MeetUp to have a drink together and meet other participants from your community.

And finally, so as to not lose the Social Aspect of the BarCamp atmosphere, we are encouraging volunteers around the country to organize In-Real-Life MeetUps for immediately after the online event. Sponsorship donations will help fund these Social Media Happy Hour style gatherings, so please let us know if you would like to help by volunteering your time to organize a local MeetUp.
As the calendar of sessions and the IRL MeetUps start to come together, we will keep you all posted through Twitter and our Facebook Fan Page.
Block off your entire calendar for Tuesday, Nov 17th. None of these webinars will be available after the event. You do not want to miss this.
