In last week’s NMRCast, I mentioned that I was considering an extended trip to host a few Social Media Club meetings outside Silicon Valley. On Saturday evening, Kristie and I decided that I should commit to the trip and see if providence would really move.

We are still working out the details and are looking for client opportunities, sponsorships and other support, but here is the initial schedule we are working with:

9/13 - Arrive in London, get my bearings and stay with the ever insightful Jackie Danicki
9/14 - Open day of meetings, XPRL Meeting at 3pm
9/15 - Afternoon/evening - Social Media Club London Kickoff Meeting
9/18 - Fly to New York, Social Media Club New York Kickoff Meeting that evening
9/21 - Fly to Miami, Social Media Club South Florida Kickoff Meeting (or on 9/25?)
9/22 - Drive to Orlando for Blog Orlando to hang out with Josh and all the other Disney loving Bloggers out there
9/25 - In Miami for business meetings
9/26 - Fly home to San Francisco in the early evening

In planning for this trip, and discussing Social Media Club operations, it became clear that my original goals for hosting 25 or more Founders Circle Events this fall was overly optimistic. We are still assesing this aspect of the launch plans, but intend to hold true to the spirit of the original idea - to get out into the rest of the world and understand how other people view social media and learn what people want from a Social Media association.

I can not begin to tell you how excited I am about this trip. More details to come later this week…
