Network 2010 will be in Fort Lauderdale March 7th, for a conference that brings together key players from airports and airliners to discuss business opprrtunities in America. This allows for airports to meet and build relationships with existing air travel providers as well as meet with newer low-cost competitors to discuss possible flight routes in to and around the U.S. and Latin America.

Many new contracts and flight routes have been launched as a direct result of prior Network events and this year is expected to do the same.

The event (Network USA 2010) is a place where high-level delegates can debate and conversate international route-planning strategies as well as other important subjects affecting the future of the air travel planning industry.

The most important feature of this event is the ability for one-on-one meetings, allowing airports to conversate marketing plans with senior airline route planners. Since the conception of Network, multiple new air traffic routes have been established as a result of contacts and relationships being formed between airline decision makers and airport senior personnel. Network expects this year to be no different; just another step forward in the expansion of communication and integration among airports and air travel providers.

The conference is to be held aboard The Grand Floridian Yacht in Fort Lauderdale. The Grand Floridian, owned and operated by Charter One Yachts, is Fort Lauderdales premier and exclusive luxury yacht charter. Charter One's luxury charters are established and extremely popular corporate event venues who frequently host meetings, celebrations and product releases form both local, domestic and international corporations.

Fort Lauderdale, FL. - With just days left before the kickoff of the most celebrated sporting event of the year, Reebok is rushing to take advantage of South Florida's immense media exposure in lieu of Super Bowl Sunday. The company has a history of capitalizing on the Super Bowl audience by introducing new product launches, and this year is no different than the rest. No, Reebok is not running a Super Bowl ad this year - well at least not on the air. Instead, they've decided to take it straight to the water.

In an effort to stand out amongst the huge crowd of companies who are employing over-the-top Super Bowl promotions, Reebok is getting their hands wet in the intracoastal waterways of sunny South Florida. They have cleverly rented, wrapped, and renamed South Florida's famous Grand Floridian Yacht (owned by Charter One Yachts) for an all out advertisement and exclusive advance media launch of Reebok's most exciting new shoe - Zig-Tech.

Located in downtown Fort Lauderdale, the 125 foot Grand Floridian Yacht has been temporarily taken over by Reebok as "The Zig-Tech Yacht", covered with an advertisement of enormous proportions and scheduled to host the debut of their new product release. The yacht will be seen cruising the waterways of South Florida throughout the Super Bowl weekend, attended by a handful of Reebok-sponsored athletes including Eli Manning, Archie Manning, Chuck "The Iceman" Liddell, "Sugar" Shane Mosley, Chad Ocho Cinco, Santonio Holmes and more.

The new Zig-Tech line of footwear is said to be "like an energy drink for your feet, using new technology along with a never before seen zig-zag shaped sole to conserve and return energy to the athlete for a soft and springy step." The shoes are set to hit retail stores nationwide on March 11th for around $100 a pair. Reebok has warned us that "despite the gigantic floating advertisement, we would like consumers to be aware that the Zig-Tech does NOT allow you to walk on water."

The unique marketing approach taken by Reebok is sure to gain attention on both local and national levels, especially with the extra influx of non-locals who have blitzed South Florida for the Super Bowl. Charter One Yachts, the official owners of The Grand Floridian Yacht, is no stranger to hosting upscale corporate events aboard their fleet of luxury charter yachts.

With five decks, full media capabilities, gourmet dining, meeting rooms, a custom sound system and a full bar, there's no question why the Grand Floridian Yacht is a premier event venue in Fort Lauderdale and Miami. For information on the Grand Floridian yacht, contact Charter One at 954.771.0102, by email at info@yachtchartersnow.com or visit their website at www.yachtchartersnow.com.

The big game is finally set in stone, and on February 7th the New Orleans Saints will battle the Indianapolis Colts in Super Bowl 44. Official kickoff time is set for 6:28 EST at Dolphins Stadium in Miami Gardens, being the 10th Super Bowl Hosted in Miami. Miami is one of the most popular Super Bowl destinations in the country and for a good reason, the weather. Sunny South Florida is going to be quite the party this year and the big game is expected to bring much more than just 110,000 crazed fans - it's expected to bring an estimated $400 million in economic activity.

South Florida is always an excellent event venue, and if the Super Bowl itself isn't enough to make fans estatic, the beautiful weather and sub-tropical landscape will surely help; especially for those who make the trek from Indianapolis where the weather is far from desirable in February.

Speaking of South Florida event venues, Charter One Yachts of Fort Lauderdale is available for hosting special celebrations of all sorts. From birthday bashes to weddings at sea and corporate outings, Charter One's Luxury Yachts are one of the finest and most appealing venues to host any special gathering.

What is there to do this season? Well, there's always plenty of things to do in South Florida for both natives and tourists alike; however, lets forget about everything else there is to do and put our focus on one of the absolute best - chartering a yacht.

1. Because you never have! If you've never been on a yacht charter, you don't know what you're missing.

2. You have a special event and you're not sure where to host it...

3. You want to make a statement.. A big one..
As mentioned above, nothing is as impressive as an event or celebration on a luxury yacht. If you really need to take things to the next level, a yacht charter can definitely do the job. When you tell your guests their invited to your celebration, they'll be thankful. But when you tell them they'll be riding in luxury on the South Florida waterways with cocktails in hand, it's sure to bring a big smile to their face. Make the decision - do you want to have a little fun, or do you want to have REAL FUN?

4. Because you can!

Under clear sunny blue skies, The Grand Floridian Yacht proudly led a flotilla that ushered the world's largest cruise ship into Fort Lauderdale's Port Everglades this morning. As Royal Caribbean's Oasis of the Seas, a 20-story, 5,400-passenger ship, took up residence in its home port, 145 VIP guests, journalists from around the world, and key tourism officials snapped photographs and waved from the deck of The Grand Floridian. Season has definitely arrived in South Florida!

Birthdays, anniversaries, employee appreciation days, bar/bat mitzvahs, commitment ceremonies and weddings are just a few of the special events in life that a yacht charter can enhance. Create the perfect scene and have a yacht specifically decorated to suit your needs.

For parties of two to a gala event for four hundred, nothing can top cruising along the South Florida waterways, and there is no finer place to entertain guests than aboard a spectacular Charter One Yacht.

Why not make your next event extraordinary?
