Summit Welcome Reception
Welcome Reception
Immediately following the Opening General Session there will be a reception in the exhibit hall. The reception will include light snack foods and soft drinks. Beer and wine will be available on a cash basis. This is a fun event where you can talk with exhibitors and catch up with friends. This event is included with your conference registration fee.
Communities Reception
After the sessions end on Monday, get ready for the Communities Reception. This reception takes place immediately after the Annual Business Meeting. Members of local STC communities will greet you and representatives from the SIGs will be there to tell you about their activities. There will be light refreshments served. This reception is included with your registration fee.
Music Jam
Thanks to the Music Jam sponsors!
Immediately following the Communities Reception on Monday, head next door for the Music Jam for music, dancing, and fun, as STC’s own Rough Drafts returns! Founding members Tommy Barker (lead guitar & vocals) and Rich Maggiani (drums) anchor the music scene, with new band members Viqui Dill, Carolyn Klinger, Robert Hershenow, and others. As with past shows, there will be an ever-flowing group of musicians entertaining you with rock, pop, rockabilly, and of course, the blues! Musicians, bring an instrument to join in (email Rich Maggiani for the set list). Everyone else, spend the evening hobnobbing with your STC friends and dancing your heads off all evening long!
Honors Banquet
On Tuesday, 22 May, the Honors Banquet will be held to honor the Society’s newly elected Fellows and Associate Fellows. This event is a wonderful celebration of your peers’ accomplishments.
