As I mentioned yesterday, I was planning to attend the first-ever RE BAR camp to be held today in Philadelphia. Well, Brian Schulman and I made it through the morning traffic on the Schuykill Expressway and had a GREAT day sitting in with some excellent teachers and more excellent networkers at the offices of the Greater Philadelphia Association of Realtors.
Here's some images I snapped of the day:
As a highlight I also got to meet in person some favorite Blog friends Patricia Kennedy, Teresa Boardman, Audrey Forshey, Jeff Turner, Brad Carroll, Margaret Woda and many other new connections I hope to stay in touch with.
Thanks To Kim Wood, John Lauber and all the team that organized this event! It was really wonderful.
HI Jeff! I'm SO jealous that you got to meet Patricia and Margaret before me! Most of the others, I've met and LOVED meeting too! Glad today was a huge success and can't wait to read what everyone learned! We just had ours and I haven't had a moment to share some of the lessons I learned but, hope to get a chance to do so this weekend. Love your photos!
Jeff..I think we met and spoke about twitter .. Great day !
HelpfulHannah your friend in Philadelphia
Jeff: Sounds like a great time by all in attendance.... Wish there was once like in Nashville... Any possiblities ?
Hi Jeff, That was wonderful and I am delighted to have shared this. Glad you enjoyed it and I will be looking for one here in San Diego one day in the not too distant future.
Jeff,
Sounds like an exciting day, sorry I missed it. New to all this. Is there a website to see a schedule for these events??
It sounds like a fun event . I am sure it will lead to referrals .
'Had a great time, too, and it was wonderful to meet so many people. It's always fun to put a name and face together in real life - especially when you feel like you know them.
I just went back and watched your show - that was terrific! It really told the story of the day. I was very bad about taking photos... 'just hope there are enough on Flickr that I can print out a few for my album!
Jeff - It was a great time indeed ! Sorry I did not get a chance to speak with you one-on-one but was in many of the same sessions as you were based on your photos. BTW, that was a great photo shoot in the blog. You captured some great moments ! Is a cool spot on the river too. Stephanie and I only live about a mile from there so we pretty much had to go ! It was quite rewarding and information packed ! ~ Chris
I saw a couple of other posts on the event and it looked great Jeff!
Jeff, What great photos. Had a great time with you and Brian. Learned a lot and had a great time.
Only wished that I attended-You got to meet Audrey June-Forshey who is one of my favorite bloggers-That's nice. Great post.
How can I get one of those WelcomeMat jumpsuits? Would have liked to sit in on the hyper local chat.
This looks like it was a successful event. I read Sheldon's post on this event as well. lkike it was indeed a lot of fun for all.
Jeff - Not surprisingly, wonderful photos. I'll have to ensure I'm there the next go around.
Jeff, I watched some of it and really enjoyed it. We met some of the same people at NAR and it was so great to meet in person! Hope to make it to one of the camps this year.
Sharon

Rebecca - Everyone had a great time, no doubt!
Jason - yes you should.
Sharon - I'm sure there will be one in FL soon.
Very cool Jeff........what was the most interesting thing you got from the day?
A love Bar Camps! I am glad you went to this one, I heard it was a good day. I love the format of the day. Looking forward to the Bar Camp in Chicago in June!
I wish I could just travel to Bar Camps all of the time... it would be really cool...
RE Bar Camp in Philadelphia rocked! It was my first but won't be my last. I think I even spotted myself in one of your pics.
Jeff: Well done! Nice pic's and thanks for sharing the REBarCamp with us. I was at the Seattle event and it was a blast. I kinda feel homesick everytime I hear about the next one, wishing I could be there!
Thanks again...
Rene'
Jeff, what a fun day that was! It was great seeing all the photos!
Victoria - you most certainly were in a photo! Nice to meet you.
Rene - Maybe they'll have another there soon. Seattle is a hot spot.
Pat - It was great to meet you in person...
