We are excited to once again host you at our Monday night Welcome Reception with a twist! This year we will be honoring our Award Recipients at the evening reception and having a toast to their accomplishments. Additionally we will be inviting our newest members of the conference to step up for introductions to the community. We hope this will offer a chance for the seasoned attendees to mentor the new entrants to this field! 

Attendees will be served delectable appetizers from the award-winning chef, Janine Falvo, on the patio of the Renaissance Hotel at Long Beach where they can enjoy the night lights and warm breezes. Specialty drinks will be available for purchase from the cash bar.
