Meet Up & Eat Up – Small Group Discussion & Dining
As part of Pittsburgh Dine-Around night, Meet Up & Eat Ups provide an opportunity to share ideas and discuss industry topics with other coaches over dinner. Coaches can sign-up for a specific topic and then the group goes out for dinner together at a pre-determined restaurant to discuss. This is a great way to learn while networking and meeting new people.
Restaurant reservations can made in advance or local staff will be available onsite in the convention center to assist with recommendations and reservations if desired. Several restaurants along Penn Avenue near the convention center have offered discounts and specials for AVCA attendees. Visit https://avcaconvention.org/dine-around-night/ to see participating restaurants!
Meet Up & Eat Up groups will get together at 7:30 p.m. on Friday, December 20. Groups are welcome to change their meeting time if everyone signed up is agreeable.
