I got the info from the local chapter of SOMA at NSU.

The SOMA Convention:
Date: April 8-12
Location: Philadelphia
Hotel: Holiday Inn at 4100 Presidential Blvd.
215-477-0200
 

Accommodations:
We are staying at the Holiday Inn near PCOM's campus.? There is another function happening at the Holiday Inn the
same weekend, so these rooms are the only ones available to us and will be
first come, first serve.? I would recommend booking your room A.S.A.P.? The
phone number of the hotel is (215) 477-0200.? Let the reservation clerk
know that you are with SOMA.? The meetings will be held on PCOM's campus,
however the Inaugural dinner will be at the Holiday Inn.


Meetings/House of Delegates - Nice clothing
OMT Session - Comfortable clothing
Inaugural Dinner - Most people tend to dress up for this event
Midnight cruise - "going out" clothing (the cruise theme is "winter
island escape" so if you would like to dress to fit the theme, bring
some "island" clothing.? Keep in mind that it could be chilly on the
water at midnight in April, so dress appropriately.


PCOM sponsored event:
PCOM is sponsoring a Saturday night midnight cruise on The Spirit of
Philadelphia.? The theme of the cruise is "Winter Island Escape".? The ship
is being chartered by PCOM and holds a total of 550 people.? The cruise
company provides entertainment and a DJ.? They will probably set up more
for a "party-type" atmosphere (ie music and dancing), but they also perform
for the guests.? Ordeurves are included and the selection they provide is a
mixture of the following type of foods:? pretzels, nachos, veggie trays,
cheese trays, etc.? There is also a cash bar.? PCOM is arranging for buses
to transport SOMA members to and from the dock.? The ship will board around
11pm and will depart at about midnight.? PCOM is covering the cost of the
cruise for all members attending the convention -- so we hope that everyone
will attend this event!? Also, one drink ticket will be provided to each
SOMA member.? The cruise is not limited to attendees of the convention,
however, a discounted fee of $10 per person will be charged to anyone that
is not attending the convention.? PCOM will be selling tickets to our
students a week or so before the convention.? Any other school that is
interested in selling tickets to their students should contact me to get
tickets ([email protected]), especially those at UMDNJ and NYCOM.? We
hope that this event will be a fun time for everyone!
