Welcome Reception

Inviting all GEMS to host a table at the Welcome Reception

WSAE GEMS have the exclusive opportunity to participate each year in the Annual Convention Welcome Reception. GEM status at any level qualifies for this opportunity. This is one of the most popular GEM benefits. WSAE does not sell table space for the Welcome Reception. Please remember to register for convention in order to participate in the Thursday and Friday Convention. The convention theme is Brave, a Year of Transformation and Exploration, and so we encourage you to lean into the theme with your display and communicate how your organization is brave (technology, services, approach, and more)

R.S.V.P to Jen Dixon, WSAE Membership Manager, to confirm your space and/or with questions.
