RIAdventure - a tech/social cruise

July 7, 2008 · 8 Comments

Joshua Cyr is organizing a networking RIA-related cruise in the Bahamas. The idea is to have all the networking and social benefits of a conference without actually having sessions. The five-day cruise leaves Miami on February 9th, 2009 and full-board rooms start at $345. Great idea Joshua!

    Nah, adding the flight to Miami would make it kinda pricey and we have enough outgoings with travel already... It would be fun, tho'...

    yeah i hear you. $2k in airfare for me and the family on top of the cost of the cruise.

    fingers crossed for next year :)

    Next year it should be an Alaska cruise for some Really ColdFusion.

    @luke hmm maybe Alaska not a good idea: http://www.smh.com.au/news/world/cruise-ship-grounded/2008/07/08/1215282790823.html :-)

    ;) For the "Flexers" among us, we can theorize that this cruise will interfere w/ the next 360Flex. Although, the next 360Flex has not been announced yet, they have been doing them twice a year in the USA, one in February and one in August.

    I wonder if the time frame will hurt attendance for both events?

    @Jeff Dang it! I was trying not to make any conflicts. There is a blog post about the cruise on the 360 site, which is cool http://www.360conferences.com/360flex/

    Hmm, wonder if there is something I can do to help 360... will have to ping them.
