Banquet Dinner (included!)

The 2017 conference dinner takes place at HuJin Restaurant, an elegant dining facility in close proximity to the conference hotel. A ticket to the banquet is included with your regular or student conference registration fee.

Our banquet follows the Chinese tradition of serving food to be shared by all at the table. The regular menu includes traditional dishes of beef, pork, chicken and vegetables. Participants also have the option of selecting a special vegetarian menu. Please note that the shared-food format dictates that all vegetarian diners be seated at special vegetarian-only tables.

For those wishing to bring a guest, additional guest banquet tickets will be available for purchase at the conference.
