Real Estate Barcamp Houston is slated to take place on October 22, 2008 at the Shenandoah Convention Meeeting facility just north of Houston, adjacent to The Woodlands, Texas.
A Barcamp is a technology and business event sometimes referred to as an “unconference”. Unlike traditional conferences, the event sessions are planned the morning of the event by the attendees. The first Real Estate version of a Barcamp took place last July with over 200 people in attendance. (Visit www.rebarcamp.com for photos and video )
Paul Chaney, President of International Blogging & New Media Association To Keynote
Paul Chaney, the President of IBNMA and a published author of blogging and social media books will kick of the event with a keynote address. The unconference format allows anyone in attendance to present, or participate in sessions with a BarCamp policy that encourages active participation. The facility is perfectly suited for the event and will have wireless Internet access, projectors and more. There is no cost to attend and a boxed lunch and limited edition conference T-Shirt are also included for all registered attendees. Event expenses are paid via sponsorships. According to BarCamp rules, all sponsorships are provided at a single level. The event is being planned by a group of local real estate professionals and real estate technology/marketing companies. There is a contingency of out-of-state attendees registered to attend that include representatives from companies like Active Rain, Zillow, Trulia, Real Estate Shows, Keller Williams and more. The following companies are sponsoring the event.

I attended the RE Bar Camp held in San Francisco in July and it was a fantastic experience. The informal structure lends itself to a creativity and spontaneity not commonly found at industry conferences (except maybe in the hallways and on the bar stools).
