Why VAR members REALLY come to convention + the Twitterazzi
July 3, 2008
What’s the best reason to come to VAR’s Convention & Expo 2008? It’s pretty simple, actually. You!
The opportunity to network with people like you is the reason that Virginia REALTORS® come to VAR every year. As of July 3, more than 150 people have already taken the plunge and registered.
However, there is a group of VAR members attending VAR’s Convention & Expo this year that requires special mention: The Virginia REALTOR® Twitterazzi.
For the uninitiated, Twitter is a kind of social networking site based on text messaging. There is a rather sizable contingent of REALTORS® using Twitter, and Virginia REALTORS® are notorious for their sheer numbers. You can meet them IRL (that stands for In Real Life) at VAR’s Convention & Expo 2008. Without futher ado, here are the Virginia REALTOR® Twitterazzi who are planning to be there.
Confirmed Twitterazzi:

Are you a Virginia REALTOR® Twitterazzi attending the Convention, but not on the list? Or are you a “maybe” who has decided to attend? Leave a comment and I’ll add you lickety-split!
Not a Virginia REALTOR®? We don’t care! Heck, we’re not even holding our convention in Virginia this year! So, this is an open invitation to all mid-Atlantic REALTOR® Twitter users (ahem @dezdaniels, @gotbob, @kimwood, @billlublin, @johnlauber attending, @ravishah, and @sarahwv), you can be a part of the fun, too! You can drive or take the train into Baltimore for a fun-filled tweetup with the notorious Virginia REALTOR® Twitterazzi. If nothing less, please plan to attend our unofficial afterparty on Friday, September 26 at 7 p.m.

Got something to say?
-
VAR's Convention & Expo Experience
all I can say is w00t -
do we get to wear special name tags - or have special ribbons for our tags?
Candy, word has it Ben’s ordered diamond studded blue feathers for our name tags…Of course, at this point, it’s my word against his!
I second that wOOt from Candy. Maybe they could put our screennames on our name tags and/or get rooms one the same floor of the hotel.
I think the term you are truly looking for is “twealtors”
@Rockson
Candy, Please don’t encourage Darth…
@livtopraise (Jenni) will be there, too!
Hi Ben,
I believe I have already registered but my twitter name is not on your list. It is novaliving. Thanks for adding me to the list.

Susan, the list is updated. Thanks for the comment and see you in Baltimore!
=) Counting the days ’til Baltimore!
Ben,
Haven’t formally registered yet, but I wouldn’t miss it!
Julie
I think they should all wear “I’m blogging this” pins (or ribbons ‘neath their badges).
Ben, okay… I finally registered today after the onslaught of e-mails reminding me of the early discount. You can change me from maybe to yes.
“Out of towner” @JohnLauber here. Just signed up today. Looking forward to it.
the list is missing @bkmcae. Also, is VARth Vader attending?
[...] I could pull off a 3 a.m. announcement like Senator Obama did on Saturday. Lacking the VAR’s Twitterazi attacking style, I was left to look for other [...]
