Social Networking…Live And In Person

As we strive to make sure you squeeze the maximum value out of your twenty-five bucks, we have two exciting final announcements to make.

First, together with the breakfast, hot and cold beverages, lunch and six incredible knowledge-sharing sessions, there will now be “Beer for Barcampers”, courtesy of your organizers and the generosity of Steam Whistle Brewery.

Steam Whistle wants all of the attendees to relax with a pint of beer in hand at the end of the day, from 4:30 pm-6:00 pm. You will get a drink ticket when you register.

Careful though – you just may keep on learning as we go back to the original form of social networking–live and in person.

However, let’s just make sure to plan accordingly. Carpools, taxis, shuttles to TTC and limos are all great ways to get home. Drinking and driving is not.

Second, Richard Silver’s www.Torontoism.com is donating a 32gig, 3G, iPad2 to the cause.  Raffle tickets will be sold for $5.00 with all proceeds going towards TREB’s Children’s Breakfast Program.

We are really looking forward to seeing everyone for a fully-packed day on Tuesday…it feels like we are planning a royal wedding, or something…

5 Days to the Event! Hashtag on Twitter is #rebcto!

FYI: the Hashtag for www.REBarCampto.com next Tuesday will be #rebcto…start the traffic and share the love!  C U There!

Doug Devitre to speak at REBarCampTO 2011!

Doug has been teaching around the States and Canada over the past few years and will be in  Toronto for REALTORQuest. He has agreed to drop in to REBarCampTO and share some of his great knowledge on May 3rd, 2011 at the Evergreen Brickworks and looks forward to meeting you.

Doug has been hired to speak in 32 states (and counting) helping real estate professionals make sense of using the latest technology. Doug is a past Business Leader of the Year of the Maryland Heights Chamber of Commerce, Entrepreneur of the Year of the University of Missouri Business School and recent inductee into the REBAC Hall of Fame.

Doug is going to share affordable, flexible and easy to implement solutions even for the most frazzled, technologically challenged broker as well as for those who would never think of going to the bathroom in the middle of the night without checking their e-mail.

Doug lives in St. Louis, Missouri, Starwood Hotels, and has killed his four plants from being away 200+ days a year. His goals are to cook more often, stop the plant abuse, travel the world learning while he teaches while making his Mom proud.

Doug is the first speaker on this video from REBarCamp San Francisco in 2009, the 1st Anniversary of REBarCamp. Check it out if you do not know what to expect from a BarCamp…

Dale Chumbley is Coming! Dale Chumbley is Coming!!

One of the stars of Social Media has agreed to come to Toronto for REBarCampTO to share some of his thoughts.

Dale Chumbley is a 2nd generation REALTOR in Vancouver, Washington who has been selling real estate since 1994. He also spent 8 years working in the Clark County Department of Assessment & GIS in the Land Records Department. This experience gives Dale a knowledge and expertise that no other Realtor in Clark County, WA has. He is the founder and daily host of 365 Things To Do In Vancouver, WA on Facebook. Dale is recognized nationally for his mix of traditional real estate and technologically cutting edge marketing. Most recently he was named by Inman News one of the 100 Most Influential Real Estate Leaders in the country for 2010. He is a lifelong Vancouver, WA resident. In his spare time, Dale enjoys organizing interactive real estate education events, teaching others how to leverage social media to expand their online reach in a way that hopefully expands their face to face interactions, photography, and sharing his city with anyone who will pay attention.

We are busy working on a full program with more updates in the upcoming days to come.Stay tuned!
