This year the Capstone Team has added a new event to kick off the first evening of the Capstone Forum. What was once the Opening Reception has evolved into a Member Connection Social. This event will find Members at cocktail tables available to connect with Suppliers for 90 minutes while everyone enjoys beverages from the bar.

This opportunity to start a dialogue with one another will be key in establishing partnerships that can be delved into further at Wednesday’s Supplier Showcase. Think about it like a Reverse Tradeshow with cocktails and more of a party atmosphere.

Join us for an evening of celebration and networking as we kick of the 2025 Capstone Forum! This evening will consist of dinner and drinks, a celebration of our Capstone Leadership Institute Class of 2025 Graduates, our ELEVATE and Innovative Supplier Partner Awards, and an opportunity for Members and Suppliers to deepen connections.

The night is not over yet! The bar is open for one last night cap and a chance to walk through the Member facility posters once again.
