For those of you not familiar with Search Marketing Salon (you better be!) we host events in San Francisco as well and we open up our doors to online marketers, entrepreneurs, social media experts, etc. We love meeting clever and creative people from all around the world. If you are not a member yet, then feel free to join our group. We are going to building out our site in the near future and will have some very exciting things going on so stay tuned!

Pics from Real Estate Bar Camp 2008

Yesterday was the Real Estate Bar Camp in San Francisco at the Swedish American Hall.  This was my first bar camp of any kind and I must say it was great.  For those of you not familiar with a bar camp think of an ad hoc conference.  People know to show up but the sessions and topics are picked right on the spot and whoever wants to lead a session may do so, anyone can be a speaker.  Once the speakers are chose and the times are set up, the fun begings.  Multiple sessions go on at the same time so you just pick what sessions you want to attend and then go.  Here are the pics from the event:

The aftermath

Overall the event was a great success.  I found it very interesting to hear how folks in the real estate industry are using social media tools foster and build relationships.  There were many interesting sessions and many interesting people.  Thanks again for everyone who helped put Real Estate Bar Camp together.  I’m definitely looking forward to my next bar camp, I actually like the crazy environment and ad hoc discussions, it feels more personal and it’s easier to connect with other people

For those of you that were around, it was great seeing all of you and meeting many of you.  For those of you that weren’t able to make the event..WTF?!  (kidding, kidding).  There were around 25 of us gathered on the rooftop of Medjools in San Francisco.  Here are the pics :)

UPDATED:  In all fairness I did not take this last pick, in fact “Tyler Willis stole my camera and created an artistic masterpiece with his unbelievable eye and awesome talent.”  A little bird told me to add that in, the little bird shall rename anonymous…sort of.

Overall a great event with lot’s of great people.  Tyler from Involver wanted to seat me at a different table because I’m still a P.C. user, who knows maybe I’ll convert one day :)

Hope to see you at the next tech event!
