Tuesday Luncheon &
Thursday Breakfast
Network with VISION attendees who share similar business interests
and concerns. The format will be different than in previous years
in that this will be purely a networking luncheon without assigned
topics and feedback from each table as in the past. Discuss whatever
you want—the morning program, hot industry issues or simply get to
know your tablemates better—the choice is yours!
Join us again for breakfast Thursday morning just before Jim Smith’s
forecast of business to come. Seating for both events will be in a
round table format to enhance networking.
Welcome Reception
Come to the Monday evening reception at 6:00 pm and network with
customers, suppliers and friends. It’s a great chance to do business in a
relaxed setting.
