While your SigEp may be busy with programming, board meetings or winning the golf tournament, there will also be some fun events and activities arranged specifically for spouses, partners and guests.
All events will be hosted at or depart from the JW Marriott Water Street and are great ways for you to meet fellow spouses and guests. We’ll also greet you at the Conclave registration desk with a fun gift bag!
Please note: these offerings are included in the registration fee for all spouses/guests registered for the full Conclave experience. If you are not attending Conclave as a full-package spouse/guest, please reach out to Executive Events Manager Tiffany Noyes about attending
