Lobster Dinner 6:00–9:00 pm $65 additional fee (event is not included in registration fees) Join us for a fabulous lobster dinner at the Waterfront Warehouse and feast on the delicacy for which we are world renowned! Smell the salt air, take in the historic Halifax Harbour and the haunting sound of fog horns! In addition to all the trimmings you will be served locally caught lobster, steamed in sea water (not boiled), pre-cracked, and served with drawn butter. It’s all about Maritime hospitality, good-hearted fun and memories that will last! If you have questions regarding the menu, please contact Kate Farrington. Brewery Dinner 7:00–10:00 pm $65 additional fee (event is not included in registration fees) Visit one of the oldest and most popular working breweries in North America! Alexander Keith, the Brewery’s founder, was the first certified Brewmaster in Nova Scotia when he arrived in 1817, and went on to become Mayor of Halifax three times! Your time at the Brewery will take you back to the city of Halifax as it was in 1863. You will see the brewing process and then be escorted to the Stag’s Head Inn, Mr. Keith’s private victorian tavern. As you enjoy the mustard-herb wrapped hip of beef with all the fixings, you will be entertained with traditional songs, stories, and a mug or two of Mr. Keith’s finest!* Both events are within walking distance of the Marriott Harbourfront Hotel. More information will be given to you prior the conference about logistics. Roundtable Breakfast Tuesday, April 15, 7:30–8:45 am If you’re looking for applicable solutions to shared challenges, the roundtables are a great vehicle to generate new ideas through discussion with peers. Sign up on-site for a session that best fits your needs. Join your colleagues over breakfast in this engaging educational exchange. Sign up is onsite near the registration desk.
