Dutch-Treat Networking Dinners
One of the most popular activities ASIS meetings!! DTN Dinners are a terrific way to combine sampling Pittsburgh's cuisine with sharing time with friends and colleagues, making new contacts, and discussing some of the hot topics in information science that most directly affect you. When you arrive at the conference, you'll be able to sign up for the dinner of your choice. Each dinner will be hosted by a local "expert" who will direct the night's discussion. Every one who has participated in the networking Dinners has raved about them. (remember to sign up early - places are on a first-come, first-served basis).
