Apparently I was on mute for the first 9 minutes of the Spaces 😂 and my two friends were unable to record it so we’ll try again at 3pm EST

Perhaps I need to stop making fun of my parents for their lack of tech skills 🙄

Here’s the recap…

We’re still having the FinTwit Conference from Oct 8-10th in Orlando at the JW Marriott and the Ritz Carlton

We strongly encourage everyone to get vaccinated but we will not require proof of vaccination

We are planning to have “rapid Covid tests” available for anyone that wants them

We will have N95 masks available for anyone that wants them

Since we’re only expecting 150-200 people instead of 400+ people we’ll scale back a few of the overhead costs like A/V, stages, etc but otherwise everything else will be “as planned”

We’ll kick things off on Friday night (Oct 8th) with a cocktail party in the Citrus Garden

Saturday morning (Oct 9th) we’ll be in the ballroom for the breakfast buffet, followed by 4+ hours of content/speakers/panels then we’ll wrap up with the lunch buffet

Saturday afternoon will be the pool party (definitely optional) otherwise you are welcome to do whatever you want.

Saturday night (Oct 9th) we’ll most likely have a VIP party at a local nightclub or lounge — depending on sponsors

Sunday morning (Oct 10th) we’ll do the roundtable event in the Citrus Garden. We’ll have 15-20 tables setup with 15-20 different topics happening. You can bounce around as much as you want.

Sunday afternoon we’ll head to a local sports bar to watch the NFL football games.

For all the details, schedules, speakers, sponsors and links to room reservations and event ticket please go to FinTwit2021.com

We still have rooms blocked off at the JW Marriott Orlando and Ritz Carlton Orlando but only until September 17th — after this date the room rates will increase significantly

Our negotiated room block rate is $239/night

These rates are good from October 6th through October 12th

If you have any questions my DMs are open.

I just went to Walgreen’s and they said I can only buy 4 boxes at a time so I did.

I’m going to try and find them cheaper online because $26 per box will get expensive.

Shoutout to the person that emailed me to say I sounded like a frat boy on Spaces today while talking about @FinTwitConf — apparently I mentioned “drinking” too many times. FWIW, I’ve had less than 10 drinks over the past 2 years so I clearly I don’t give two fucks about booze.

Whether or not people drink at the FinTwit Conf… I could not care less.

I’m trying to be a good host and put together some social events that will allow people to enjoy themselves and engage in meaningful conversations.

They can drink water, soda, booze or something else.

It’s truly astonishing that people would take the time out of their day to send me these ridiculous messages. Sometimes I wonder how these people have made it this far in life.
