12.1.10: Social Fresh BonVoyage Party

Posted by richtucker in Attend, Enjoy on November 19th, 2010

One of my favorite parts of the 2009 Social Fresh Cruise was the Bon Voyage Party, where almost 200 local social media and technology peeps welcomed us to Miami. While planning this year’s Social Fresh Cruise, we decided to change the departure port to New Orleans so that we’d have the opportunity to meet all of our online #NOLA friends face to face at the Bon Voyage party.

Over 25 of the Social Fresh Cruisers are coming to New Orleans on December 1st, the day before the cruise to experience the local cuisine, sights, and to meet as many of the local Social & Tech Community as possible. The Social Fresh Cruisers are coming from Chicago, Denver, Austin, Charlotte, NYC, Tampa, Atlanta, & more. The #NOLA Social & Tech community’s impressive representation at South by Southwest has me extremely excited about the potential of the #NOLA Social Fresh Cruise Bon Voyage Party.

#NOLA BonVoyage Tweetup Details:

Starts: 8 PM - Pelican Bar in the Sheraton Hotel on Canal St in New Orleans.
10 PM – Moving the Tweetup to Cat’s Meow for a little #TechKaraoke
Cost: Of course admission is FREE!! Adult Beverages = Not Free
Please RSVP here so that we know how many to expect!

Social Media facilitates quick connections, but meeting face to face moves a weak connection to a strong connection almost immediately.  If you’re not actively meeting your online friends in real life, you’re missing out on what makes it truly special.  Hope to see you there!

Social Fresh Cruise 2010

Posted by richtucker in Attend on January 11th, 2010

We’re excited to announce Social Fresh Cruise 2010 location, ship, itinerary, and session plans.

The Social Fresh Cruise 2010 will depart from New Orleans, LA on December 2, 2010. We will be on the Carnival Triumph headed to Cozumel, MX. The key to the success of the 2009 Social Fresh Cruise was our awesome list of attendees. We look forward to welcoming most of them back in 2010. We plan on keeping the event intimate while increasing the number of attendees through invitations to Social Media Insiders. Do you have an Invite Code? Reserve your spot now!

Social Fresh Cruise is one of the most unique social media events of the year. Leaders in social media preach the importance of taking online connections offline as one of the keys to building the strongest networks. The one hour interactions at conferences are nice, but sharing a once in a lifetime experience traveling together is unmatched in creating life-long friendships. Make 2010 the year that you deepen your online relationships! The key to Social Fresh Cruise is our attendees. In 2009, Social Fresh Cruise proved to be an opportunity for Social Media Insiders to getaway, relax, and unplug with others who were equally as a passionate about the future of social media. Although the popularity and awareness of Social Fresh Cruise has grown tremendously since last year, we will keep the number of attendees manageable to keep the intimacy of the of the event.

Social Fresh Cruise Sessions:
Many of the 2009 Social Fresh Cruise attendees felt like they could learn more from each other and enjoyed the interactive discussions.  Plus, most of the attendees are presenters at Social Media Conferences throughout the year and they felt like we could offer a more unique experience from the Social Fresh Cruise Sessions. We loved the feedback, so the 2010 sessions will include facilitated roundtable discussions lead by subject matter experts, and some highly interactive presenters.   Social Media is about the conversation, instead of all the sessions being one speaker pushing information, Social Fresh Cruise aims to be more collaborative and interactive.

Bon Voyage Tweetup.
In 2009, one of the highlights was meeting the Miami Social Media Community at the Bon Voyage Party. This year there will be a Bon Voyage Tweetup in New Orleans on 12.1.10, so that we can meet the New Orleans Social Media Community in person.

Reserve your spot now with a $50 deposit! Follow @SoCruise for all Social Fresh Cruise (#SoCruise) Announcements.
