Southwest Florida Meet & Greet

We are in the process of setting up a Meet-n-Greet for the members of Model Mayhem who are located from Bradenton/Sarasota south to Ft. Myers/Naples for Saturday, September 20th @ 5pm. This event is open to all Models, MUA’s and Photographers who would like to attend this fun event. There is no official "membership" or organization nor are there any dues or fees to attend a meet.
The locations will vary from meet to meet. We will try and center the meet around each area as a new meet date is set.  The First meet will be around the Sarasota area, then the next meet will be around Port Charlotte and so on..  We are trying to set up a meet possibly 3 times a year about every 4 months. Please try to make them all if possible.

      September - Sarasota Area
      January      - Port Charlotte
      May             - Ft. Myers


Southwest Florida MEET & GREET Information
Each gathering will be around an area suitable for setting up quick shoots for Models and Photographers who would like to see how each interact with the other but remember - shooting is completely optional and not "Required" to attend. We will try and select a location for the meet that will allow for shooting if you so desire. Meets may be an indoor location with backdrops, etc or an outdoor setting like a local park, beach, etc.

Photographers - Chance to mingle, meet, network, as well as get your questions answered in person by any one of your peers, check out the local models for future assignments before you book them, meet new models that you never knew before and would definitely like to work with them in the future.

Models - Chance to mingle, meet, network, network, network and start booking shoots. There will be photographers from your surrounding area in attendance. If you would like to book a shoot or just don't know the best way to go about it, come on down.  It is a great chance to meet other Models and bounce ideas and questions off of them.

MUA's - Again...mingle.. mingle.. mingle. Talk to Photographers & Models about your past work and upcoming projects you would like to work on.

All Attendee's - Please remember to bring Business Cards or something with your information so both Model, MUA's and Photographers can get back with each other. It would be a very good idea to bring portfolios with you, particularly if you are a photographer or MUA so that people can familiarize themselves with your work.

Greetings everyone...

Just a quick update.

If your name is not yet on the top of this thread and you are going to or w/t to make it, please let me know so I can correct this.

Thanks

What locations are you thinking of Keith?  Also, one thing you may want to do, is watch what the dates are for the Tampa and Orlando events. Particularly the Tampa on since many in this area attend that one.

For the record, both Tampa and O-town run every 3 months.. And when the show hits Ft Myers, might want to hit up the Miami gang..

Thanks to the OP/powers that be for arranging all this; I'm relocating from Seattle and this will make things MUCH easier.

Hey ... thanks for the invite. This sounds great. I was just up at Sharky's today. Great beach area.... ( even a c/o beach to the south of the pier if you don't mind walking up to Casperson ). If the day works I can probably take several riders from the Ft. Myers area. I'm in Cape coral.
