Loved getting the chance to connect with UW-Stout Polytechnic students at their very first meeting of the school year, and talk all things NACE, hospitality, and the opportunities this industry has to offer.

There’s so much energy and potential in the next generation of event professionals, and we can’t wait to see what this amazing NACE Student Chapter accomplishes this year!

We’re looking for volunteers to join us for an afternoon of giving back with Open Arms of Minnesota on September 15!

Twin Cities NACE is rolling up our sleeves and spending the afternoon supporting an incredible local organization that provides medically tailored meals to critically ill Minnesotans and their loved ones.

We’ll volunteer together from 2:00–4:30 PM, then head to Luna and the Bear for complimentary appetizers, drinks and some time to connect with fellow NACE members.

Volunteer spots are limited, and we’d love to fill every one.

Plus, a portion of every ticket sold will be donated directly back to Open Arms of Minnesota—so your participation makes an impact in more ways than one.

Join us, bring a fellow event pro and spend your Tuesday doing some good.

Your Tuesday plans just got better.

On September 15, we’re stepping away from the usual networking event and spending the afternoon giving back with Open Arms of Minnesota.

We’ll volunteer together from 2:00–4:30 PM, then head to Luna and the Bear for complimentary appetizers, drinks and some well-earned NACE time.

The catch? There are only a few volunteer spots available!

And because doing good should do even more good, a portion of every ticket sold will be donated directly back to Open Arms.
