Friday Night Social
Friday November 1, 2024 5:00pm - 9:00pm CDT
TICKETS FOR THIS EVENT ARE SOLD SEPARATELY, NOT INCLUDED IN SATURDAY CONFERENCE REGISTRATION

This year's pre-conference social is really something special! Enjoy a tour of the Wonders of Wildlife National Museum & Aquarium, then gather with your fellow conference-goers at 7 pm for conversation, fun, snacks, and learn about a few of the Springfield-area schools going green. We can't wait to see you!

Self-guided tours of Wonders of Wildlife are included in the ticket for this event. Go to the Guest Services desk to let them know you are with the MEEA conference, and they will provide you with a wristband. Please allow at least 2 hours for the tour, which means get there by 5 pm to make it all the way through the exhibits. You can arrive as early as 12pm for the tour, if you really want to take your time!
