Harpoon Signup Reminder
Note: the Harpoon event on Tuesday August 15th is reserved for those conference attendees who registered by May 16 (the "Early Bird" deadline). For those
who are eligible please see this message below:
Due to the very enthusiastic response to our Early Bird registration package (thank you!) we are a little overbooked on the space. As a result we are asking
those eligible for the Harpoon Brewery to choose either an early
(7:30-9pm) or late
(9-10:30pm) session. Since the venue does not offer food other than pretzels, we encourage you to consider either having dinner first and then attending or attend and then leave for dinner. If people can be mindful of their time and share
the event with others we would appreciate it - we promise everyone will get a chance! If you haven't already responded please look for the Eventbrite invitation in your email inbox (or possibly your spam folder).
Not eligible for the Tuesday Harpoon event? The
Harpoon Brewery is open to the public Sunday-Wednesday 11am-7pm and Thursday-Saturday 11am-11pm. Tours are offered frequently. (During the Tuesday evening event a look at the production process is possible but it will
not be a narrated tour.) It is approximately a 12 minute walk (0.5 mile or 900m) straight down Seaport Blvd/Northern Ave. Might be a good location for a
Birds of Feather (BoF)...
