Beer & Wine FAQs

• How much wine or beer should I purchase?
  We recommend that you purchase 6-8 bottles of wine OR 2-3 cases of beer.
   
• Is there a minimum or maximum price we should spend?
  You are free to spend as much or as little as you wish.
   
• How will our beverages be served?
  Each participating firm will be responsible for pouring its own beer or wine. Ice buckets, corkscrews, bottle openers, and glassware will all be provided.
   

• What should I do with the unused beverages?

  You will be responsible for either returning or discarding any unused wine or beer. You may leave unused wine on your table after the event, but it will NOT be returned to you. FedEx and UPS will not ship, so you must either take it with you or arrange for a courier to pick it up that evening by 7:00 PM.

You table will be available for setup anytime between 8:00 AM and 4:00 PM the day of the conference.

Please be sure to arrange for someone to handle the setup up your table.
