Agenda
Platinum Sponsor: Sure Shot Redemption
It’s time to par-tee! Meet your fellow attendees outside the resort and board buses for a short trip to the Stone Mountain Golf Club, where you’ll enjoy hors d’oeuvres and refreshments overlooking beautiful Stone Mountain.
In honor of the Master’s Golf Classic held annually in Georgia, we ask that you be “seen in Green” or come dressed in your most outlandish “Caddyshack” golf wear for a lively costume contest. Prizes will be awarded!
Shuttle buses depart from the Convention Center Entrance.
Board buses with your fellow attendees and go behind-the-scenes at Andretti's Indoor Karting and Games for onsite learning opportunities and "round-robin" breakout education sessions covering Food and Beverage, Birthday Parties/Groups, Marketing, and Attractions.
