Where:  Meet in the lobby of the Marriott Country Club Plaza at 6:30-ish.  Reservation times will vary and may change, so keep an eye on conference notifications!

How much?  All dinners are individually paid for by each participant unless otherwise noted.

How:  Select the restaurant of your choice in the conference app. Seating is limited to ~10 at each venue, so make your choice early.
