PLEASE NOTE: Participation is VOLUNTARY and attendees will be required to pay their share of the total bill. Each dinner is strictly limited to 8 attendees.

You will receive an email indicating your dinner topic and discussion leader before the event.

After the reception at the Cleveland Fed from 6:00 PM - 7:30 PM, attendees will gather for the dinners. Meet your group at the conclusion of the reception no later than 7:30 PM. Your discussion leader will be holding a sign indicating your topic. After gathering at the reception, groups will then walk together or take a ride share to the restaurants.
