After a long, full day at the LACC, you’ve got to unwind, right? Networking with others, meeting new people, having a drink in person with “online friends”, it’s all part of what makes BWELA a great time!

My Liver is ready!!!
Gonna try to hit all three! Hopefully I don’t end up being a total square…lol
I’d better see you there, JT!
You’re definitely on my “People to meet face-to-face” list!
OK, why is the opening night party always on the 2nd night?
Because the first night is actually not the full expo night… So it’s a “networking party and mixer”.
Thanks for the list Lara! 🙂

Anyone have a link to an unofficial/invite only party/networking list?
