About Social Fresh Cruise and the Bon Voyage Tweetup:
On 11.11.09, many of the Social Fresh Cruisers are invading Miami from Boston, NYC, Austin, Chicago, Charlotte, & other cool places across the US. The Social Fresh Cruise departs on 11.12.09 on the 4-night Carnival Destiny Cruise to Cozumel, Mexico. The Social Fresh Cruise (hashtag #SoCruise) is an opportunity for Social Media Leaders, Influencers, & Innovators to get away, unplug and focus on strengthening some of their key relationships while sharing a once in a life time experience. We will take advantage of our time at Sea to have 6 hours of Social Media Sessions lead by Chris Brogan, Greg Cangialosi, Jason Keath, Amber Naslund and others that will spark conversation and ideas throughout the cruise. The Starting Price for the Cruise is only $395 per person which includes all your meals, 3 hour drinks included beach party at Carlos & Charlies, Private Cocktail Parties on the Cruise, Dinners as a group, On Board Entertainment… We have a few spots remaining and we just started pitching sessions for the last two 45 minute Conference Sessions.

The Team of cool people helping us with the Tweetup:
We’re very fortunate to have a great team on the ground in Miami helping us plan and promote the Social Fresh BonVoyage Tweetup. The DoubleTree Grand Hotel has been an awesome partner; getting us an incredible Group Rate for the Social Fresh Cruisers and providing the venue for the Tweetup. If you’re traveling a couple of hours for the Bon Voyage Tweetup and would like to stay at the Hotel; contact me at rtucker@cruisedeals.com so you can take advantage of our Group Rate.
A special thanks to @MiamiandBeaches who helped us get the venue and is bringing many of their members in the Miami Hospitality and Travel Industry who are embracing social media and are excited to meet our guests from out of town.
We will be joined by the South Florida new media community, including Social Media Club South Florida, RefreshMiami , AWC, and others at the Bon Voyage Tweetup. The Social Fresh Cruisers want to be able to put a Face to a Twitter ID for as many in our South Florida Network as possible!

Social Fresh Cruise - Sessions Announcement
Posted by richtucker in Attend, Enjoy on September 10th, 2009
Our goal is for the Conference Sessions to be Fresh, Forward-Thinking, and Interactive. We want the sessions to spark ideas and conversation throughout the cruise whether that be at dinner, by the pool, at the cocktail parties, at the blackjack tables, etc.. After the cruise, the #SoCruise attendees will have a distinct advantage over those who did not attend thanks to a stronger network, new ideas, and rejuvenation from a 4-day Cruise Vacation!
Four 45 minute sessions are set. We are excited to announce that Chris Brogan will do a Reverse Q&A, Greg Cangialosi will be presenting the Future Interconnectivity of Email & Social Media, Amber Naslund Building ‘Real’ Communities, Jason Keath the future Democratization of specific Industries facilitated by Social Media (a similar panel Jason is pitching for SXSW made it to #8 on the Hot List). The subject matter on these may change slightly as we get closer to the Cruise!
To insure that the content is valuable and relevant to everyone sailing on the Social Fresh Cruise, attendees will pitch Session ideas, Q&As, Panels, interviews, etc. for the remaining 4 sessions. We are going to use IdeaScale to facilitate the process. Many attendees have inquired about the opportunity to speak on the Cruise, this is your chance to speak or suggest a topic. So get your pitches ready and we’ll start the process soon. Follow @SoCruise on twitter for the announcement with link to start making your session pitches.
