#SeaTweetup – Not Your Average Tweetup
Read
Here at Kaufman, Rossin, we stress the importance of networking. Networking for professional development, creating new relationships, promoting your individual brand and connecting with the community. Networking typically ranges from happy hours to receptions to fundraising activities to tweetups.
Tweetups?
A tweetup may be an unfamiliar concept if you’re not particularly active on Twitter or other social media networks. Playing off the term “meetup,” a “tweetup” is just like any other networking event where community and business members come together to establish and strengthen relationships. A tweetup, however, is a unique opportunity for those Twitter users who communicate online via tweets to come together and meet each other face-to-face. It turns that online relationship to an offline, in-person relationship. In many instances, I have tweeted with individuals and brands online and then met them at a tweetup, allowing me to connect a twitter handle (username) and avatar (picture) with a real person. Many of my closest friends have actually been Twitter acquaintances prior to meeting them in-person!
On November 18th, members from the South Florida social media community including Soul of Miami, SocialBuzzTV, Social Esquire , Jeff Cohen and myself, along with Cruise Deals and Norwegian Cruise Line are taking the term “tweetup” to a whole new level and hosting the first ever #SeaTweetup! While cruising aboard the Norwegian Sky for three nights around the Bahamas, social media enthusiasts are being given the ultimate extended networking experience. Attendees will not only enjoy the regularly included entertainment, meals and fun that come along with a Norwegian Sky cruise, but the organizers of the #SeaTweetup will be providing special events such as a Meet & Tweet, Social Media Scavenger Hunt, Sail Away Tweetup & BBQ, a roundtable presentation – “How Can We Improve Twitter – 15 presenters in 45 minutes,” and a Show & Tell Tweetup.
