On Wednesday, November 6th OMCA has scheduled time for our delegates to enjoy a dine-around evening. Marketplace appointments end at 5:45 and Party With a Purpose begins at 8:30 pm. The time in between is perfect for hosting your clients or potential clients to a nice dinner. This is an optional activity for attendees with the desire and resources to participate.
To assist attendees in planning a dine-around, we have outlined some basic information for dine-around planning and have compiled a list of nearby restaurants for you to choose from.
- What is a Dine-Around?
The dine-around evening is the perfect chance for sellers and suppliers to host their prospects for dinner and build the important relationships that hold this industry together. - Book Early
We recommend making your reservations early, even before your guests are confirmed. It is easier for the restaurant to shrink your reservation than it is to grow it, especially on a busy night. - Who do I invite?
Sellers can invite any buyers with whom they wish to show appreciation for their existing business relationship or they may invite buyers with whom they wish to begin a new business relationship. You can host as many or as few buyers as you wish. Buyers may receive multiple dine-around invitations, so it pays to get an early start and set an RSVP deadline.
Use the MyOMCA Event portal to see the appointment-taking and appointment-sharing buyers attending. Their contact information can also be found in the event portal. - Where can we host dinner?
Below is a thorough list of nearby restaurants that could host your dine-around including links to their website, their phone number, and their distance from the host hotel.
