Attendee ExperienceThere will be so many fun ways to engage with your fellow conference attendees, help others, learn, and party at the 2024 Conference. Together, we will celebrate 20 years of conferencing and discover that “There’s More Than Corn in Indiana” (sorry, fellow Hoosiers). Check out these great opportunities: Welcome Party: Join us for the Welcome Party to kick off your conference experience. This is an excellent time to meet people you will be sharing time with over the next three days and to greet old friends. Come have a drink (with a free ticket), enjoy hors d’oeuvres, play some games, and hear from our partner Visit Indy, who will share some exciting things to do in the city during your visit. We’ll kick it off at 5:00 PM at Conner’s restaurant. BINGO: Participate in ADRP Bingo during the conference for a fun way to meet fellow professionals and win a prize. Let the game begin at registration where you will receive your bingo card. Once you have at least one BINGO, stop by the ADRP desk in the lobby to be entered for a prize drawing on Wednesday, as part of the 20th Anniversary celebrations! Network like it’s 2004 (our birthday year): Breakaway from your daily routine and make fun The Reason for your Tuesday night. Drop It Like It’s Hot in the ballroom at 5:15 PM on Monday for a music-filled time of games, drinks, food, and networking. Don’t wave the White Flag and Let’s Get It Started (the networking, that is). Spirit Day: We like nothing more than showing our team spirit in Indiana. Tuesday will be Spirit Day at the conference! Represent with your team colors (and enjoy a more casual day) – your alma mater, current employer, cherished professional team, treasured cause, or just your favorite color. You may make new friends with fellow super-fans who share your penchant for the Indianapolis Fever (Go Caitlin Clark!), UCONN, or the color red (go Hoosiers!). ADRP Lounge: Need some downtime to check your email, finish a project, or simply take a breather? Join us in The Lounge for a relaxing time. While there, we’d love for you to leave your thoughts on the last 20 years of Donor Relations and wishes for the next 20 years. Dine-Arounds: Savor an extra networking opportunity to get to know one another outside of a conference setting. Choose one or two of the amazing local Indianapolis restaurants you want to check out, sign up, and get to know your fellow attendees while you enjoy delicious food. Sign up today! Anniversary Party: Please stay through Wednesday lunch to hear from Penelope Burke and celebrate our 20th Anniversary with a birthday party! We wouldn’t have made it here without each of you!
