#Ascend2022 Ascend 2022 Networking Opportunity Events

Where I can keep track of the special events (note: these are not “parties” as so many people are misled to believe) at Ascend June 12-15, 2022 – Las Vegas, NV). To attend one of these events:

1. You’re registered as an Ascend Attendee.
2. You’re either a prospect, customer, or goodwill contact for the host.
3. You visit the host’s booth at Ascend to pick up whatever is required for entry.
4. Do not just show up at the event and attempt to “crash” it – just spend your time at a regular #Ascend2022 reception the same evening, and you’ll still get plenty of party time.
