Lunch Option #1 

Click Here to Pre-purchase Meals and Networking Event  

We are offering catered lunches for pre-purchase available at $20 each.  These will include a sandwich, side, dessert, and beverage.  Options accommodating special dietary restrictions and allergies will be provided. You are able to specify your specific dietary needs during the ordering process at the payment link at the top of the page.

To ensure you receive a lunch, and one that would suite your dietary needs, we strongly encourage you to pre-purchase your lunches via the payment link at the top of this page. 

All meals MUST be pre-paid prior to September 18, 2026.  Unfortunately, there is no way for us to accept payment for the catered lunches once you are on site for the meeting, or past this date. 

No refunds will be issued after September 18, 2026.  All refunds will incur a 3.95% cancellation fee.

There is a “Grab & Go Café” onsite for both breakfast and lunch service, offering a selection of convenient meals, snacks, and beverages for purchase each day. Quantities will be limited and offerings may vary.
