Complete a full pit stop with your pit crew on a real NASCAR! Jump over the Pit Wall – Jack up the car – Change the tires – First to finish or fastest time wins! Round it out with some refreshments and lunch for the perfect balance of excitement and networking.
Old Town Pub Crawl
Hop on board, pump up the tunes and let the good times roll.. we’re going on a pub crawl in Downtown Scottsdale! Unlike other bar hopping experiences, this one requires a little bit of ‘footwork’..

Enjoy refreshing drinks, local fare and good conversation - this afternoon promises to be fun-filled for all.
Neon Nights Party
Get Ready to Glow - we're lighting up the Valley Ho and dropping the beats for our Monday night dinner party! Meet us under the desert sky to celebrate the end of a productive day. Mingle with new friends over craft cocktails, gourmet food stations and good tunes. Keep your ears open..we've got a special performance coming your way - stay tuned for details!
