SPONSORSHIP OPPORTUNITIES AND VIP PARTY

This is by far the most ambitious event we’ve planned since the pandemic. We are so excited to bring together our far-flung community for stimulating lectures, beloved and hard-to-find classes, and a party where we can "meet the others" over music and a cocktail.
