6:00-7:30pm

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.
