Conference Booth & Meetup at ENAR (the legendary Cafe Du Monde)

Details…

We will have an information table and we will also be having a meetup on Monday night.

Our meetup will be Monday night and will be a walk to the legendary Cafe Du Monde, a short walk from the conference hotel: Cafe Du Monde New Orleans.

The meeting is tentatively scheduling it for 830pm so that we can eat dinner beforehand, as Cafe Du Monde is not really a restaurant, but a coffee stand with beignets. Please RSVP to my email again with “SDSA ENAR” in the subject field if you are planning to join us.
