WELCOME RECEPTION: AN EVENING IN SAVANNAH

Let the conference begin — Savannah style! Join us for a relaxed and unforgettable welcome reception brought to life by Visit Savannah. We’re kicking things off with charm, flavor, and a touch of magic at this immersive evening event.

Stroll into Savannah’s soul with three spectacular themed backdrops:

• A picture-perfect Savannah square, shaded by moss-draped oaks
• The shores of Tybee Island, breezy and beautiful
• A haunted twist, honoring Savannah’s delightfully spooky side

As you mingle, enjoy toe-tapping tunes and stellar vocals from the SCAD Bee Sharps, a talented ensemble from the Savannah College of Art and Design.

Come hungry — Lowcountry classics and Southern sips are on the menu! Think shrimp and grits, sweet tea, cocktails, and more.

With evening temps around 85°F, light, breathable attire is the way to go. Think cool, casual, and conference-comfy.

Whether you’re reconnecting with old friends or making brand-new ones, this kickoff event is your chance to unwind, explore, and fall in love with Savannah’s unique charm!
