RIAdventure 360 Cruise

RIAdventure Cruise schedule at a glance

September 16, 2009 By John

We’ve been working with our awesome speakers to come up with some ideas for the cruise. We’ve also got a uservoice set up so people can submit discussion topics. That’s still open by the way.

In the meantime, here’s what we’ve got right now. If it looks like a ton of awesome discussions, sitting around a table having a drink/meal, you’d be right, that’s exactly what it is.

RIAdventure isn’t a conference in the ‘sit around in sessions’ sense (we’ve got some sessions, don’t get me wrong) it’s more of what is typically the best part of conferences, the conversations in the hallways.

We’ve got a great group of speakers (is that even the right term?) that will be engaging in incredible conversations every night of the cruise. We’re not limited to the topics on the schedule, those are merely starting points.

Download the schedule see what you think! The cruise is gonna rock!!

Remember, registering for RIAdventure, also includes a ticket to 360|Flex San Jose (March 7-10, 2010), which always sells out!

Go on a RIAdventure and get a free 360|Flex Ticket

August 28, 2009 By Tom

RIAdventure is going to be an awesome time. There’s no doubt about it. The conversations are going to be amazing. How could they not be with all that brainpower from the speakers and attendees.

It’s a cruise though. While it’s a perk for some, we realize that it’s a detriment to others, particularly those with anal bosses. (Don’t tell them we said that, okay?) Therefore we’ve been noodling on, “How can we make it more attractive for people to come? What can we give them?”

A t-shirt didn’t really seem to cut it. A Doug McCune beer koozie, probably not gonna push you over the edge. What’s the most valuable thing 360|Conferences has to offer? A ticket to what will likely be a sold out show, that’s a pretty cool item, no?

We sure hope so, because today we’re announcing that those who join us at RIAdventure will also get a ticket to 360|Flex next, included in their registration. ”A 360|Flex ticket for $300 bucks, plus I get to go to RIAdventure! Sign me up!” While we haven’t formally announced it yet, the next 360Flex will be the last weekend of February, 2010 in San Jose. We’re just awaiting confirmation from eBay on the space and we’ll be good to announce. (Unlike other shows, we just can’t bring it on ourselves to announce without a firm date and location, as tempting as it is.)

Now, all you west coasters, this deal is for you. Fly out to join us on the boat and then drive over to get into 360|Flex for free. Register now and we’ll see you aboard, matey! :)

RIAdventure 360 White Christmas? Sure, White Sand Christmas!

August 19, 2009 By Tom

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!
