Small Group Dinners and Lunch

Whether you are a new or returning conference attendee, getting together with colleagues over dinner is a great way to network. We are continuing to offer conference attendees the opportunity to sign up for small group dinners and lunches at several local restaurants. Reservations have been made for small groups of up to six attendees from Friday, June 26 to Tuesday, June 30. There is also an opportunity to network with colleagues during lunch on the conference's half day on Monday, June 29. Let us do the work for you — all you need to do is show up, meet, eat, network, and enjoy. Watch for more information about these events in upcoming messages from NACUA.
