Are you heading out to San Francisco for ReBarCamp and the Inman Real Estate Connect? Interested in meeting some Trulians? Well, were just as interested in meeting you too. There will be plenty of opportunity for us to “connect”.
Here are a few ways we can make it happen:
1. ReBarCamp - Trulia is hosting the 1 year anniversary of REBCSF at our Trulia headquarters located at 208 Utah Street in Potrero Hill. We’ll have multiple rooms and floors available for all the campers to network, have group discussions and for presentations. Finding a Trulian will be quite easy. Many of us will be wearing our signature green Trulia t-shirts. Naturally, we’ll be engaging as many people as we can but if you see one that you haven’t met yet, just say hello - we’ll be happy to get to know you.
2. Inman Connect - Trulians will be out in full force during connect. In addition to the many meetings we have already scheduled, you can see some of our top stars on various panels.
