This isn't just lunch — it's one of the most valuable hours of the entire event. The relationships you build at this table can open doors you didn't even know existed: referrals, partnerships, mentorships, job opportunities, and lifelong professional friendships.
Why Networking Matters:
• The most successful members of this organization will tell you: it's not just what you know — it's who you know, and who knows you.
• A single conversation at this lunch could lead to your next big opportunity.
• Building your network now means having a support system for years to come.
Come with an open mind, a genuine curiosity about the people around you, and the conference app ready to connect. Make it a goal to walk away with at least 3 new meaningful connections — then follow through on the app so they don’t get lost in the shuffle.
Menu: caesar salad, Italian meat lasagne, warm rolls and butter, key lime pie, coffee and tea service, iced tea.
