Networking and Reception

Networking Dinners (no-host dinners)

Two years ago we piloted an idea of “No-Host Networking Dinners.” These are self-selecting networking dinner groups designed to promote greater interaction among meeting participants. We have collected a list of restaurants that are within walking distance of the Westin Arlington Hotel, and will reach out to find volunteers to serve as hosts for a group of meeting participants. (Note that again everyone will be expected to pay for his or her own meal at this event.)

Please follow the LINK to pick a venue of your choice and join your ERC colleagues for dinner and conversation.
