New to the AGC Convention? Make the most of your conference experience!
Attending a large event for the first time is exciting but can be overwhelming at the same time. We want to make sure you have the tools you need and invite you to participate in the following activities to help you make connections and enhance your experience.
First-Time Attendee Welcome Reception
Tuesday, April 8 – 3:00 PM-4:00 PM
All first-time AGC Convention attendees are invited to join the AGC Ambassadors for a reception prior to the opening general session. Come network with fellow first-time attendees and leaders to make the connections that will help make your AGC Convention experience memorable and valuable.
Connect with an AGC Ambassador
Look for attendees wearing the ambassador button or stop by the First-Time Attendee desk in the registration area to meet an AGC Ambassador. AGC Ambassadors are experienced members who are available to provide guidance, answer questions, foster new connections, and help you further engage with AGC.
Check out the Braindate Lounge
The Braindate Lounge is a great way to connect with other attendees for short topic-focused meetings. You can post a topic of your own or sign up to attend an existing discussion topic, then join us in the Braindate Lounge to participate in one-on-one or small-group conversations based on the selected topic.
