Let’s Get Social! 2022 Social Overview

Sessions and speakers are the primary reason people attend conferences.

However, we feel networking opportunities are extremely important also. And in some cases, even more important – for a variety of reasons.

All Things Open 2022, our 10 year anniversary, will include 4 networking socials attendees can choose from. All provide a genuinely good opportunity to relax and meet new friends.

Check out the 4 socials below and plan now to attend.

*Note, everyone attending a social must check-in / register first in the 3rd floor lobby of the Raleigh Convention Center (RCC). A conference lanyard will be required for entry. No RSVP is necessary. Limited food and beverages will be available at each event.
