New this year will be a Friday Night Social held in Bee Culture’s Conference Center, the location of the Two day Conference on Saturday and Sunday. It’s a low-key, meet and greet with the speakers and attendees from 5:00 pm to 7:00 pm on Friday where you can pick up your folders with speaker profiles, conference addenda, and lots of information on Medina’s dining and shopping opportunities. Supper afterwards is on your own but you’ll have plenty of places to choose from, and lots of people to join with.
