Meet the Speakers Event

An optional “Meet the Speakers” event will be held at RFD (Regional Food & Drink) Washington on Friday December 3 at 7:30 p.m.

Centrally located at 7th Street NW, RFD offers a lively atmosphere and over 30 beers on tap, including a cask-conditioned ale and constantly rotating selection of rare beers and specialty handcrafts. Their extensive list is further expanded by RFD’s 300-plus inventory of bottled beers from around the world and, of course, they have an excellent selection of wines and soft drinks.

This event offers a great opportunity to meet the speakers and colleagues in a relaxed and informal atmosphere. The event includes drinks tickets for your choice of beer, wine or soft drinks, plus a buffet supper created from RFD’s “beer-centric” menu.

Cost per person: $35.00
