Atlanta Meet up. Taking BP from virtual to in person. Success!

[Jered Sturm]

Hey Everyone, 

So a few months back I moved from Ohio to Georgia to expand our REI company. I didn't know anyone in the Atlanta market. BP was a huge help but in-person relationships take it to a level that virtual connection simply can not. So I decided to start a Monthly BP meet up this past January. The results have been awesome. With attendance around 100 people each month we are able to bring the local REI community together, to help each other learn, grow, and add value. There are no sales pitches or side agendas, just taking what BP gives virtually and applying it to in person.

With a private online group for those who have attended the interaction goes from monthly to daily. Deals get bought and sold. Recommendations get answered, and relationships get built. 

Thanks to everyone on the BP team who has made it possible to build off of this tremendous community you work so hard at. @Joshua Dorkin @Brandon Turner @Scott Trench @Dave Meyer  @Allison Leung @Hilary C. @Zachary Gwinand many more.

Even Greg Moyer a professional home photographer in the group offered to add value to the group by sharing his skill set of photography to capture the meetup (check them out below). And Alex Vela a group member generously volunteering a wonderful venue to host the event.

This group has been a huge help to me learning a new market. If anyone has considered doing an in person meet up in their market I strongly suggest it.
