Host a Dine-Around

We invite you to organize a dine-around to gather registered conference attendees offsite for dinner on the evening of Wednesday, May 5. You’ll select a restaurant and make arrangements—reservations are recommended. A dine-around is ideal for eight to 10 people. We’ll publish the details of approved dine-arounds in the event app, where attendees will be able to RSVP.

The dine-around request form will be available soon. Requests are limited to one dine-around per organization.

Expectations

As a dine-around host, you will:

• Be registered to attend Leading Locally 2027.
• Select a restaurant (reservations are recommended).
• Develop a transportation plan and determine what costs (if any) would be covered by attendees.
• Meet Council staff at 5 p.m. on Wednesday, May 5 to get your attendee list. Attendees will arrive around 5:30 p.m. and you can expect to depart the hotel between 5:45 and 6 p.m.  
• Please note that all events must follow the guidelines set for conference participation, including our solicitation policy.

The Council will:

• Collect RSVPs for your dine-around through our conference app.
• Share the list of registrants (name and organization only) with the dine-around host only.
• Support attendees in finding their dine-around group in the hotel lobby.
