Tuesday Group Dinners, 6:30pm

A tradition for IPAC conferences is our annual group-dinner night. IPAC group dinners dedicate time for attendees to exchange ideas, share challenges and successes, and discuss hot topics while enjoying dinner. We have been scouting out the best restaurants around Alexandria and will have sign-up sheets, along with menus, at the registration desk Monday and Tuesday during the conference. Come and check out the menu and sign-up for a group dinner! Our Social Committee will arrange the group’s reservation and a meeting time and location to travel to the restaurant together.
