We have built in conference games and plenty of networking time, such as an extended lunch with time for attendees to engage with you. Why an extended lunch? Well, it seems people actually still like to talk to each other. Thus, we have built a purposeful time for people to connect with each other. During the long lunch we will also shuttle attendees who are interested up to the Casper College Tate Museum so they can “Meet the Mammoth”.
