Networking Events
Networking is at the heart of why we meet in person, and we’ve designed a program to ensure plenty of chances to connect. From the shuttle zone at the Marriott to morning and afternoon exhibit hours, and extended coffee and lunch breaks, every moment offers a chance to engage. The evening social events provide even more opportunities to make meaningful connections while enjoying the beautiful surroundings. Whether it’s during sessions or over a meal, the schedule is packed with ways to expand your network.
