What is RE Bar Camp?

If you’ve never been to an RE Bar Camp before, we’ll answer some of your questions here. If it’s been a while since you’ve been to a Bar Camp (and let’s face it, it’s been a while for all of us) then this may be a good refresher.

• RE Bar Camp, or Real Estate Bar Camp, began when a few real estate agents got together in a bar (shocking) to discuss how to build/improve/enhance their business.
• Over time, the idea caught on, and RE Bar Camp events are now held throughout the U.S. and abroad.
• The goal of every RE Bar Camp is to create a collaborative, welcoming environment where people are encouraged to share their thoughts, concerns, best practices, tips, and knowledge to help everyone be better agents.
• It’s called an “Un-Conference” for a reason…there are no formal presentations or speeches except for the keynote speaker. Instead, it’s a place where everyone can contribute, ask questions, and share their knowledge.

What Else Do I Need to Know?

• First, it’s pronounced R – E – Bar Camp, not “rebar camp”
• There’s no selling, no recruiting, no competing, and no pressure
• You suggest the topics  discussed, and you’re encouraged to ask questions and share your own insights
• Follow the Rule of Two Feet– Not getting what you need out of a session? Get up on your feet, walk out, and head to another session…it’s an informal format designed to ensure you get the most out of attending
