Dining Options

Conference attendees have the option to purchase a lunch each day of the conference for $15.00 USD. This option will close on June 7, 2024. 

Upon check-in at registration, attendees will be given their badge and a meal swipe card. This card has your “tickets” loaded onto it and will allow you access into the dining hall on campus during lunch time. Conference lunch is NOT included in the price of registration and a ticket MUST be purchased during registration. Walk-ins are not guaranteed. 

We will be dining at Yahentamitsi, which is a short walk from the conference sessions. The dining hall offers a variety of options for guests and is a great way to continue networking over the lunch period. 

Yahentamitsi also offers dishes for those with dietary restrictions—one station is dedicated to gluten-free options, and another to vegan fare. The vegan station is named Sprouts 2.0, after the vegan station in the old building.

Other stations include an all-day breakfast concept and an Asian eatery where customers can create their own stir-fry dish. Toward the back of the dining hall is Joes Grill, a micro-restaurant inspired by sports bars that serves sandwiches and burgers, and a bakery outpost features fresh cookies, muffins, croissants, cakes and pies.
