Opening Receptions and Socials
Networking is a primary reason to attend conferences! We are moving the Opening Welcome Reception from Sunday to Monday evening! We have also decided to add a closing reception on Thursday. Other ideas for mid-week breaks are in development, stay tuned!

IMECE hosts daily morning and afternoon coffee breaks. These are meant to "re-charge" attendees and presenters by providing a more relaxed atmosphere to interact with one another. Many use this time to network, arrange evening plans with colleagues, and exchange contact information over coffee.

Technical Program attendees are entitled to lunch Monday through Wednesday in the Exhibition Hall and Thursday at the Closing Keynote. This is a great time to not only get a bite to eat but sit and network with colleagues and friends before or after you visit with Exhibitors.
