Opening Reception

Saturday, May 18 | 5 – 7 p.m.

Start your Saturday night off right at our AAPA 2024 Opening Reception! Directly following Saturday’s Main Stage event, join us for this fun opener to the conference. Enjoy music, games, hors d’oeuvres, and a drink on us while you explore the Expo.

Play games with your colleagues, including pinball, video games, giant Battleship, and more. Dance to the dynamic, versatile, and high energy music of the Joi Lux Band – and to top it off, we’ve created a signature drink, the Blue Martian, available only at the Opening Reception!

Are you a student? Don’t miss Taking Names and Making Connections happening during this reception.
