Prepare for Casino Night Too!
If you are an exhibitor, please plan to bring a prize that can be given away at Casino Night! On Wednesday evening of the Symposium, we will have a Casino Night event. Symposium attendees will try their hand at various casino games. Instead of cashing out for greenbacks, the players will be paid their windfall with raffle tickets. They will then deposit those raffle tickets at the booths of exhibitors that have a prize up for grabs. Each exhibitor that has a prize will draw from the tickets that have been deposited at their booth to award their prize. It's always a lot of fun. More information to come soon.
