About Nanaimo's Downtown

The second annual Real Estate Webmasters Summit is coming to Nanaimo, British Columbia, Canada, from July 30 to 31, 2009. This is the event for North American agents wishing to learn how to leverage their websites to their full potential and to maximize both leads and sales. CEO Morgan Carey will be personally teaching classes on search engine optimization, lead follow up, and leveraging IDX data from a search engine marketers perspective, and Eric Blackwell, owner of EricOnSearch, will be there to teach authority building and networking online.

Real Estate Webmasters are going to be giving away an LEC (Limited Edition Custom) plus one year of hosting / SAAS fees (US$10,840 value) to one lucky attendee. Last years winner was Mike Taylor - if you ask him if coming to the conference (even without winning the LEC) was worth it, he will be likely to provide a glowing review - but hey, winning a $10,000 website isn't all that bad either.

This summit is a business writeoff to come for a vacation in the most beautiful place on earth. Yes you will learn, yes you will network, and yes you should not miss the conference for all the business reasons mentioned, but c'mon people - this is Vancouver Island, the Pacific Coast of British Columbia - it is probably on most everyone's bucket list anyways. Write it off and come early, stay late, and enjoy all the pacific north west has to offer. See you there!

The city of Nanaimo has been working to revitalize the downtown area for a while now, and I can honestly say that it is starting to come around. As the convention centre nears completion I can finally start to imagine the vibrant downtown feel that the harbour city will have when those retail shops are full of quality retailers.

I live and work in Downtown Nanaimo, and I am happy to report that this "Old City" of Nanaimo is well on its way to reliving its glory days!
