Social Networking / Developing Online Relationships Class Agenda

[Eric Blackwell]

First off, I want to thank Morgan for the opportunity to be a part of the REW get together. I view it as a small way to pay him back for the great online community that REW is.

I also wanted to throw out a TENTATIVE idea of what we will be discussing in the Social Networking / Online Relationships Class.

I am a pretty low key guy and just wanted to put together something that I would find useful if I was coming to the conference. As always, feel free to comment below on anything else that you'd like to discuss as a class and I will be happy to try and incorporate it.

This sounds like a great class! I hope you record this class for those of us that arent able to make it to Canada!

Sounds Great Eric, we are very excited to have you. One thing I would like to point out - although for REW customers, the full attendance price is credited to their account, this conference is open to any REW community member (customers and non customers alike) and the information you will be sharing (As will others) will be invaluable to any Realtor or their webmaster looking to generate the most business from their websites.

[Eric Blackwell]

@Tony- Would love to hang out with you up here. I don't think we are going to record it. It is kinda like PubCon (grin) What happens in Nanaimo... (hehe). That having been said, I think the hallway and after hours discussions alone are going to be worth the price of admission. Hands down. Something limited to under 200 people where you have plenty of time to toss ideas around with each other and network and ask questions is an amazing opportunity that I could not resist being a part of.

@ Morgan.- Thanks for the opportunity. I look forward to yours and Gerry's presentations as well as RonnieG's. (read: I am coming to share and contribute...but ALSO to LEARN and network). I mean, who would not want to tap into your SEO experience and Gerry's writing experience. (You kidding me? grin) You guys are amazing and I have a feeling some of the truly innovative ideas for 2009 in online real estate marketing will get their start at the REW conference.

Gonna be fun, IMO.

Best;

Eric

Wow! I've been thinking I need to make the trip, but now I'm REALLY thinking I need to make the trip. Never been to Canada and would love to put faces and names together, plus I'm sure there will be tons of tips shared.

I would love to take Colleen away for some 1 on 1 R&R. Summer vacation and 5 kids has me wiped out! We could use the break as well as the learning.

Best of luck with the surgery either way, but like I said we would love to put a face to the name (And the face) as it were
