RIAdventure 360 is gonna rock.  With Ted Patrick, Ryan Stewart, Doug McCune, Faisal Abid and Sam Rivello speaking, it’s obviously gonna rock.  (Don’t know these people somehow, go check out the speaker page to get their bios.)  The question is more: Are you going to be there?

One thing that is obvious is that the conference is in between to major U.S. holidays: Thanksgiving and Christmas.  There’s no point in trying to avoid the subject since it’s fact.  However, instead of avoiding it, we’d like to do the opposite and bring it into focus.

For many parts of the US, this summer plain sucked.  Sunshine was rare and the thought of Fall and Winter fast approaching isn’t a pleasant thought for some.  Early December isn’t going to be filled with a surprise burst of 75 F temperatures, with blue skies and waters of about the same temperature.  It’s gonna be dark and it’ll likely be cold.

We know that people work out their holiday schedules years in advance.  Alternating between one set of parents to the other is the norm.  Or always going to Aunt Bess is the way Christmas/Turkey Day is spent.  If that’s the case, by all means, go.  Don’t let us disrupt a time honored tradition.

However, what if there’s flexibility in your plans?  If you can spend some time with your significant other and maybe the kids alone, while learning about stuff that’ll make you a more valueable employee (or indie developer), why not?  The cruise when all costs are said and done is not much more costly than many other conferences.  Though, how many shows let you spend quality time with your family, enjoy an early Christmas in paradise and still learn about the nitty-gritty of the RIA space?

Only one show does: RIAdventure 360.  Therefore, we’re making the case for you to head on home and chat it over with the family.  We did.  You can even do what we did, which is ask the extended family to join us.  Send them this link so they can learn all about the cruise.  No sense in not making it a party.  This way, there’s no reason to feel bad if Aunt Bess decides not to come.  She had her chance to make up her mind.

The RIAdventure Cruise conference is gonna be like no even ever before.  It’s a concept that will evolve over the years and only get better.  The thing you have to ask yourself is do you want to be there at the start?  Or do you want to be a latecomer and hop on the bandwagon after it’s been through a few rounds?

We’re all trailblazers and we’re willing to bet you are too.  In that case, work out the plans.  Get things in order and we’ll see ya aboard, matey!  Head on over and buy your tickets now!
