The sessions are great, the speakers are impressive, the crowd is energized -- AWESOME!

My goal is to be a speaker one day....

Both online and off.)With the truckload of information I picked up from the many selfless speakers I'll be weighing (and analyzing) which direction to pursue first.

. - I've started to upload the slides to the BiggerPockets FilePlace, and as they come in from the speakers, we'll keep uploading them and eventually will put a repo together linking to them all.

I have also found (with my albiet limited exposure) Real Estate to be something we both can get passionate about; from finding a deal, negotiating, to staging, gaining deep exposure to the market, and even creating a home that someone else can love.We recently attended the Summit in CO and are thankful to Josh, the Speakers, and even the attendees who were so willing to share their successes and failures and years of expertise with complete newbies.In the area of REI we really are completely new.

One of the speakers at the BP summit identified Milwaukee as the foreclosure capital of the US currently.

And whenever they bring in one of those "national speakers" (AKA gurus), be sure to not get in line at the back of the room - save your money from those types.The sub-groups are always the best part, I agree.

The speaker partially addressed this question.

Since the advent of the SAFE Act, various groups have been trying to get CFPB spokespersons to meetings like this and they have turned everybody down except to come in as a featured speaker meaning they chose their own topic, speak from a platform, and take no questions.Most state and federal regulators will not appear where they are going to be asked questions from the audience.

That is a club to teach people to be better speakers and presenters.
