Networking Dinners

Meet up with others to grab some dinner on your own, and get some time to connect and network with others in a relaxed environment. Each restaurant is within a couple of blocks from the host hotel. Costs associated with the networking dinners for Friday evening are not covered with your conference registration. BUTCHVoices is facilitating these dinners as an opportunity for participants to interact with folks with shared interests in a social environment and perhaps get some conversations going around the various issues, sessions and performances.

We will obtain head counts for the various dinners to reserve space at the below listed restaurants near the Oakland Marriott City Center. Listed below are your hosts who you will meet up with, either at the restaurant, or in a location in the hotel. Your hosts are there to create a comfortable networking and socializing environment, and to be the “go to” person for these events.
