Why?? Because we are used to going to conferences where the agenda is set in advance. As potential attendees we can review the topics and decide if the conference would be worth our time to attend. I am glad that I did not let that stop me from attending. I made the decision to attend based upon the corporate sponsors and published attendess. I decided that hey with these big social media names attending I need to be there. REBAR Camp should have been better attended. The road blocks were advertising in social media only venues and the newness of the concept. By the way, it was a pleasure meeting you Mike.

REBAR Camp should have been better attended. The road blocks were advertising in social media only venues and the newness of the concept.

By the way, it was a pleasure meeting you Mike.

The "sweep" as you call it should be widened. Widened to include a whole host of mediums and methods that have yet to be implemented in the overall strategy. I will encourage the folks planning the LA event to include you in the conversations. Thanks for being a big supporter and participant. You, Rudy and Fran are to be commended. MP Hillary,

Maybe the next step is to take that community and point it outward to a bigger group, consciously using traditional as well as social media tools to reach people in any way they choose to be reached. To draw more people to REBarCamps, and to help bring more people along the path of adoption, we'll need to widen the "sweep" of the messages. I would be very interested in working with you on setting up something like this. Hi Mike,

Being a standalone event requires that the unknown value of a new concept be "pitched" in a way that incents and excites. Locale is also important, as in destination, or what other business / fun can be accomplished in tandem. In our 2.0 world, demands on our time have increased, so it the challenge becomes one of determining best results for the effort / time / cost. We are all still finding our way. (i.e. If I had a clone, I would have been there!) From what I've read, I think you hosted an outstanding first event for your area. Celebrate it. Mike,
