I was excited to see that the very first virtual Real Estate Barcamp is being held on November 17th. They are anticipating over 1000 agents to attend from across the United States (there are already 272 registered attendees as of this writing). Having attended a live version in Houston last year, I can attest to the value of this event.
They will have some terrific sessions and teachers, from the list I saw earlier today. There are still openings if you're interested in hosting your own session. There have enough virtual "room" for 27 total.
Current session topics include:
Social Media Risk Management
Flickr for Real Estate
Developing Your Brand
Online Advertising Secrets
Facebook for Real Estate
WordPress Training
Daily Goal Tracking
Starting a Real Estate Blog
...and more.
Following the virtual event, there will be many "in real life" meetups around the country. I am considering hosting one of these myself, depending on the interest level here in Austin.
The sessions will run from about 11am to 6pm Central time (9am to 4pm Pacific). You can get more details and track the progress here: http://rebarcamp.com/virtual/. I hope to see you there!

Jason,
I'm equally as excited. I think doing it over the web is an awesome idea.
Hey, thanks for posting this. I just signed up. Would probably never have seen it otherwise.
I hate that I have to miss this, but I have a date with a Deer with some bone on it's head!
I heard about this and think its great! I'm also very excited that I am going to attend the event in Raleigh in early November. I'm looking forward to meeting some AR friends in person finally.
i'll be there as well and very much looking forward to it.
I've read positive comments on Active Rain from people who have attended these RE Barcamps in person. I was excited to see it offered on line. I just signed up. Thanks for making it available this way.
Crouch - I should probably try to do everything I can to make sure I can attend. I love the idea. Without the traveling, it gives me a much greater chance of not getting lost:)
I signed up to this as soon as I read the post. I think I got lucky to stumble across it. I was actually looking up something else, which directed me back to AR, and there it was the 2nd posted featured.
Jason, thanks a ton for the support. We really appreciate it! You are the man!
Jason,
I heard so much about it, but never went to a 'live' one, so this is a very good news for me. Signing up, thanks
Hi Jason I posted a reminder also and directed them to this blog. I recently attended the Pittsburgh Rebar camp and I am really looking forward to this one. What a great opportunity to learn all this stuff in one place and on a virual Rebar..great stuff.
Love Tomato
Jason --- thanks for posting about the virtual REBar Camp --I am going to sign up now.

Jason - Without you, the Rain just wouldn't pour. Thanks, man. And, I'm signing up! Keep up the great work!
Awesome idea from the guys at Real Estate Tomato. Great to see sessions on Facebook, Flickr and WordPress.
