First for those that are thinking about spending a week with us as well as some of the big name, big brain RIA crowd, we wanted to get some community involvement on what topics we should talk about.

So we created a uservoice site just for the cruise. Even if you can't make it, throw out some topic ideas. The idea is that on the second conference day, we're going to be semi barcamp and just openthe floor to break out discussions. Give us some ideas. Since we're all in one room, I'll likely video both days, so even if you can't make it, you might get some nuggets of wisdom from the video :D

Also for those that definitely ARE going, we know that some of you might not have a Significant other or maybe they can't make it. Since boats are all Double Occupancy rooms, we thought we'd set up a wiki for attendees to see if they could find a bunk mate. Nothing fancy, the site explains it.

Rather than have rehashed presos and talks about specific products, what if we took this conference to a higher level? What if we talked about the future of RIA? Who would we want leading that discussion?

Two people immediately jumped into my mind when I asked myself that question. I quickly hit them up on instant messenger to get their initial thoughts. They caught onto the concept gave a tentative yes. Now, after checking their schedules, they've given the thumbs up to participating.

We're happy to announce that Doug McCune and Ryan Stewart will be joining us as the first two speakers at the RIAdventure 360 conference.
