KICK-OFF COCKTAIL RECEPTION RECEPTION

location icon HEART HOUSE

6:00-7:30pm
Join women cardiologists from all over the Mid-Atlantic for a lively social time. This is a separate ticketed event from the conference – you can purchase tickets with registration or add separately once your plans finalize. Tickets are available for guests.


Dinner – Continue the Conversation!

8:00pm

For those who want to continue the conversations and network, each member of the Mid-Atlantic Women Cardiologists Conference Planning Committee is reserving a table at a local restaurant for conference attendees should they wish to join a small group (6-8 people) for the remainder of the evening.  All individuals who sign up for dinner will pay for their own dinner and transportation to and from the restaurant (many will be walkable). Sign up information will be sent to registered attendees two weeks prior.
