FREQUENT CONCERNS


 Im   not an expert on social media.

I   dont have time to organize this.

 Whats   with the name? RE BarCamp.

 Why    would people commit to an event with no set schedule?
NOT A SOCIAL MEDIA EXPERT


 Events   are participant driven.

 Events   are not just about social media.

 Be   an expert at being a host.
TIME TO ORGANIZE


 Encourage   members to organize it.

 Only   as complicated as you want it to be.

 Avoid   over-planning. Its an unconference!
RE BARCAMP



 Dont   call it RE BarCamp.
NO SET SCHEDULE

 Not    every member is going to accept this.

 This   is a collaborative environment.

 Collaborative   people will come.

 Promote    a list of likely subjects.
FREQUENT QUESTIONS


 Whats   in it for my association?

 Can   people participate virtually?

 Can   we pro鍖t on the event?
WHATS IN IT FOR ME?


 Innovative     content.

 Good   will.

 Connecting      with more people like me.
VIRTUAL PARTICIPATION


 Possible, but   not common or required.

 Look   for a sponsor to cover logistics and cost.

 Encourage   participants to broadcast the event via social
 media.
PROFITING


 The   tradition is not to pro鍖t.

 People   are more likely to collaborate.

 Consider   giving net-proceeds to charity.
