The SEA 2026 Spring Meeting Dine Around will occur on Friday, April 24.

Also known as a “Dutch treat meal”, the Dine Around is a great way to enjoy an informal dinner at a local restaurant while enjoying networking, conversation, and peer learning in a smaller, intimate format. The restaurant will provide separate checks for each participate.

Space is limited at each restaurant so please register early and contact the SEA Office right away if you need to cancel.
