BrokerIPTV: Today we are talking with Vali Wimberly from The
Berkshire Group. Welcome to the
show. Glad to have you.
Vali Wimberly: Thanks, it's good to be here.
BrokerIPTV: Well, we are talking about RE BarCamp, Denver. What is RE BarCamp, Denver?
Vali Wimberly: That's a good question. I get that question a lot actually. BarCamp is going to be a one day convention
and it's anybody in the real estate industry, not necessarily realtors, but
anybody who wants to know a little bit more about being a little bit more tech smart[Phonetic].
BrokerIPTV: Yeah.
Now, I understand your group is part of the group that has helped
organize the event. Is that true and how
did you get involved?
Vali Wimberly: Yeah.
Absolutely. I actually... I got
recruited by Todd Carpenter and Krystal Kraft. They wanted somebody else to help them out
with the entire function and I said yes.
BrokerIPTV: Now, what is the guts[Phonetic] of this? People get together and they kind of share
ideas, is that a little bit of how it goes?
Vali Wimberly: Yes.
It is... I think the best way to describe it is with the word unconference[Phonetic]. It's a day of really good information, but in
the beginning of the day we don't have a schedule. We essentially make the schedule based on
what people submit at our website of what they would like to hear and they
would like to learn more about and also the day of the conference in the
morning, we kind of survey who is there and see what they want to know.
BrokerIPTV: And are you just like picking a speaker out
of the group that happens to be there or are these people booked in advanced
type of thing?
Vali Wimberly: That's a good question. We have a lot of the people, the who's who of
the different social medias and blogging that are already there. So, we are picking people that are very
knowledgeable about it and they are coming to it.
BrokerIPTV: All right.
Now, this is the first of its kind in Denver, is that correct?
Vali Wimberly: It is and we are really excited about it
because there has been a few across the nation and they have generated a lot of
just good information and a lot of excitement.
So, we are really happy to have one in Denver here finally.
BrokerIPTV: What other cities have kind of undertaken this
little adventure?
Vali Wimberly: Well, the first one was in San
Francisco and Seattle
just had one recently. They had over 400
people sign up.
BrokerIPTV: Wow.
Vali Wimberly: And pretty much a couple of hundred people
came to that one. So, there was really,
really good information at the same time lots of attendees.
BrokerIPTV: Give me some examples of the topics you are
going to cover.
Vali Wimberly: Well, again, it is going to be a lot of tech
stuff, but a lot of blogging for business, click to closing, things like social
media sites and how to really use them to your advantage, Facebook and
Twitter. I mean how does that help you
in business, a lot of people don't really make that connection and we will
definitely be talking about that at a basic level and at a very advanced level
as well.
BrokerIPTV: Who can attend?
Vali Wimberly: Anybody, anybody who wants to know more about
this. So, it can be somebody who knows a
lot will have advanced sessions. For
people that want to know more about maximizing SEO and stuff about like basic
beginning blogging, it just really depends on what the people want to hear that
are there.
BrokerIPTV: Yeah.
Cost?
Vali Wimberly: It's absolutely free. That's one of the best things.
BrokerIPTV: Oh, that's great.
Vali Wimberly: Yeah.
BrokerIPTV: That's the best cost you can get.
Vali Wimberly: Yeah.
BrokerIPTV: All right.
How about where is the event being held and when?
Vali Wimberly: Well, it's going to be... it's at 7100 East
Belleview, which is at the Armbrust
Real Estate
College and MetroList. It's in the building and we are going to...
they have been very generous, they have donated their facilities and so that's
where we are going to have lots of space to have all the different sessions.
BrokerIPTV: And how does somebody sign up?
Vali Wimberly: They sign up online on our site. It's rebarcamp.com/denver.
BrokerIPTV: Vali, thanks, appreciate you being here.
Vali Wimberly: My pleasure.
