Houston, We Have Lift Off! - REBarcamp - Texas Style!

A few weeks ago I started speaking with Lani & Benn of Agent Genius, Matt Kelly and few others about an REBarcamp for Texas. The idea to hold it in conjunction with the yearly HAR.Com trade show seemed like a good idea. It's now a cemented date of October 22nd and the wheels are in motion with the aforementioned folks along with Carson Coots, Ken Brand, Stephanie Edwards Mussa and Laurie Price as the beginning of a team charged with the task of keeping the REBarcamp momentum alive and well.

I have spoken to someone about a great facility in the Midtown area of Houston that is all but locked. As soon as I get the official green light we can announce it. Please add the date to your calendars and watch the REBarcamp.Com web site, we will be re-tooling it for the Texas event (and other REBarcamps) soon along with a new Wiki and more. If you want to volunteer, sponsor or have any questions, please email me at mprice AT mlbroadcast dot com or DM me on twitter @mlbroadcast. More information to come soon!

UPDATE: After having a few conversations we have decided to use #REBCH as the hash tag for this event. We have acquired separate domains for the events that will likely take place in other areas of the state as well. Since I went out of pocket at $7 bucks a pop, they will be released to the organizers of those events in exchange for a margarita or mojito and an acknowledgment to H-Town - Represent!

REBarcamp is Right Around The Corner

The first ever Real Estate BarCamp is scheduled to take place on 7/22 at The Swedish American Hall in San Francisco. If you're planning a trip to the Inman Connect conference, why not come in a day early and join in.
