We are only a few weeks away and have over 300 seats sold . We still have room for additional reserved table sponsors…contact Bobbi if your company is interested in sponsoring a table of 10!
Individual “guest” tickets are $110 per person and will include a lovely dinner, two glasses of wine, a fabulous program as well as networking with industry professionals.
