Join us for Dinner

As a tradition, WATESOL has a conference dinner immediately after the sessions in order to meet together more informally. This is also a time when we honor our outgoing board members as well as welcome incoming board members. Join the WATESOL Board, our keynote speaker, and invited speakers at dinner! 

This year, our dinner will be at Brookland Pint  located at 716 Monroe St NE, Washington DC 20017. We will get separate checks, but your $5 dinner registration fee will be used toward appetizers. 

Dinner tickets must be purchased by Thursday, October 4th.
