The banquet and afterglow will take place at the Jennings  Dining Hall, beginning with a meet-and-greet at 6:00 p.m. followed by the banquet,  probably around 6:30 p.m. - exact timing may change between now and then.  A paid bar will be available during the banquet and afterglow.  

Please feel free to address any questions you have to us and we’ll do our best to provide  you answers.
