Dine arounds
From TechSource Gaming Symposium
Monday night (November 3) is your chance to schmooze with gaming's leading experts in the library field and meet colleagues who share the same interests you do. We're helping to organize a series of "dine arounds" at 6:00 pm in the area around the conference location based on a variety of topics. We know it will be difficult to choose just one, but we encourage you to create an account on this site and sign up ahead of time so that we have an accurate head count for reservations. This is a great opportunity to ask questions, learn more, and connect with fellow gaming enthusiasts.
- Please note that ALA is facilitating the reservations for these gatherings but is not paying for the meal. You will be responsible for your portion of the bill.
Potential locations: See this list of restaurants within walking distance of the hotel (at Oak Brook Mall) for ideas. You can find reviews of them on Yelp.
