HOW IT WORKS
Walking into a crowded reception can be flat out daunting. It's hard to join a conversation, it's loud and it can feel like just a sea of people. However, receptions that are thoughtfully designed, can make networking feel like a breeze.
At the Welcome Reception, guests will be greeted by the hospitable host sponsors at multiple Sip & Savor Stations. With meticulously selected food and drinks, branded accessories, and exclusive giveaways, each station will be a refuge for attendees, making them more comfortable to strike up new conversations.
