Looking Out From the Garage

REtechSouth news and updates... again... 9 days to go!

Man, this thing is speeding up on us. 

There are a few really cool things going on with REtechSouth right now.  Probably the coolest thing... or at least the one on the top of my head... is the REtechSouth Social Networking site at Crowdvine.  This thing is pretty nifty.  Basically, it is like a FaceBook for the event. 

As a user, you can:

  • add friends, fans and let people know that you'd like to meet them.  It is a really cool way to keep track of who will be coming.  
  • track your events for the day.  There is a schedule, and you can block out how your time will be spent.  It is a really cool way to keep track of where you will be.
  • watch Twitter... 
  • See where everyone is coming from... and we are covering Massachusetts to Orlando to San Francisco.  

Personally, I like the calendar (if you hover over a session, it will give you a quick idea of what will be discussed there) and the Network.  I have been lucky enough to make it to a few other events like the NAR Convention (Vegas and Orlando) and Inman in San Francisco.  Because of that, I have met a lot of RE.net folks, and I'm really happy to be able to catch up with a few of them when they are in town for REtechSouth. 

So, if you haven't signed up yet, HURRY.  The only place where you can find the $50 discount is here. 

Also, sign up for the FaceBook group... and there is a Twitter group and probably LinkedIn... and just about everywhere else you could think of the event having a group.  There will be pics on Flickr, FaceBook and Twitter.  There will be updates on Twitter. 

And I think I heard that Bob Stewart is personally renting out the Georgia Aquarium for the Active Rain Party.  We'll see if that lights up his Google alert... 

 

**I don't think Bob is going to do that... but it would be really cool.**

REtechSouth... are you going to be there?

I just got an email from Matt Fagioli (ok, he is my broker, so I get LOTS of emails from him) about REtechSouth.  He and Brad Nix have made some changes and announcements, and this is shaping up to be an incredible event. 

First, let me share the concept of the conference:

  • REtechSouth was born out of the desire to host a conversation about the technological changes impacting the real estate industry. A place where agents, brokers, lenders, builders and many other real estate industry practitioners could join together to collaborate on how technology can improve business. What tools work best? What websites are best for networking? Which vendor has the best product? What are the best practices for growing my online presence? These are the types of questions REtechSouth hopes to answer every year. The goal is to get some of the best minds in the industry together in one room to share the knowledge.

I went to last year's event, and spent some time after the event talking with both Brad and Matt.  These guys are working at putting something special together.  I believed enough that I joined Matt's brokerage, Diamond Dwellings.  I wasn't looking for a brokerage to join last year...  But, I also had spent too much time having to invent the wheel with my old brokerage.  REtechSouth wasn't a commercial for ANY brokerage model or broker, but simply a gathering of agents, brokers and others in the RE.net sphere that wanted to be better.

Last year's event was among the best I had been to at that time.  Since that event I have been to Inman SF, RE Bar Camp in SF and some other events.  Honestly, I think that RE Bar Camp in San Francisco was at the top of that list, with REtechSouth coming in second and Inman coming in third (value for time and money spent!).  I know that this year's REtechSouth will eclipse last year's event. 

Brad and Matt put last year's event on with only a few WEEKS notice.  This year they have been chipping away at it for almost a YEAR.  Last year's event was small... only about 125 attendees, but they were high powered folks.  Pat Kitano, Jon Washburn, Kevin Tomlinson, among others...  This year there will be about 500 folks attending, and the high powered voices will be back with reinforcements.  Take a look at the website and see who is going to be there... then register.


 

You need to be there.  This conference will be about delivering better marketing for our listings as well as marketing ourselves better.  It is also about making our jobs more efficient and more effective.  I am a technology oriented REALTOR, and I will be there.  If you want to be better with your technology... you should be to.
