Dine Arounds are Open

If you are staying in the Monterey area throughout Internet Librarian 2010 be sure check out the Dine Arounds.

Join your colleagues, fellow conference attendees, and your hosts for terrific conversation, dinner on the town, and lots of fun you won’t soon forget!  Chat about the day’s events and topics of interest.  Choose from a range of wonderful food and dining expeditions to great restaurants in the Monterey area.  Sign up online for the excursion of your choice.  (You pay for your own dinner but share a table with other IL participants.) Lists will be maintained online, and during the conference copies will be on the bulletin boards in the registration area at the Monterey Conference Center.  Groups will meet either in that area before going to the restaurant together or will meet at the restaurant.

CIL2010 Dine Arounds

Thanks for the reminder@libraryman!!

Join your colleagues, fellow conference attendees, and your hosts for terrific conversation, dinner on the town, and lots of fun you won’t soon forget at a Computers in Libraries Dine Around! There are Dine Arounds on a variety of topics and at restaurants for any budget.

Eat & Engage with Fellow Attendees at a Dine Around

Chat about the day’s events and topics of interest. Choose from a range of wonderful food and dining expeditions to great restaurants in the Crystal City/Arlington area. Sign up online for the excursion of your choice.

Here is how it works:  You pay for your own dinner but share a table with other CIL2010 attendees.  The sign up lists will be maintained online for each group , and during the conference you can find copies on the bulletin boards in the registration area at the Hyatt Regency Crystal City.  Groups will meet either in that area before going to the restaurant together or will meet at the restaurant.

If you would like to HOST a Dine-Around, please contact Jane Dysart at jane@dysartjones.com

NOTE: If you like the restaurant but not the topic, let us know — topics are guidelines only and can be changed!

Eating, Networking & Having Fun

If you want to meet new people, and have company for dinner, check out the dine-arounds for IL 2008.  Sign up and meet your dutch treat group (everyone pays for their own dinner) either in the conference registration lobby (where the bulletin board has the printed lists) or at the restaurant the group has chosen.  Sample lots of good food in Monterey and enjoy fun conversations.  Groups usually have a subject/topic that may draw the group together.  Some groups end up talking about that topic but lots just gino with the flow.  Join  in and have fun!  Jane Dysart, Conference Chair
