Thursday Night Welcome Reception

The Thursday night reception was held earlier in the year, adding hours of summer sunshine. Guests were greeted with a welcome reception as they enjoyed a live band, appetizers, and a signature cocktail designed by our platinum sponsors. Guests were not only seen referring others, but also delighted to get away from the desk and have in person conversations.

As the night went on, the ice sculptures glistened in the fading light as the cameras began to light up around the photo backdrop. Ultimately, it was a great night for vendor partners and clients to interact before Friday’s packed schedule.
