Welcome! You Belong Here!
If you’ve joined the PPI community within the last few years or if you’re passionate about welcoming new members, you belong here! Join us to forge new friendships and engage in a purposeful activity designed to cultivate connections and a sense of belonging. Depart with newly formed bonds and an interactive experience to deploy in your profession.
* This is not the typical PPI reception, which will occur later. Instead, it’s an opportunity for newcomers to connect before the conference begins. *
We will organize small (usually 4 to 5 people) dinner groups for those who would like to go to a nearby restaurant for a “Dutch Treat” dinner on Tuesday, July 30th. This is a great way to meet other like-hearted, like-minded professionals, as well as a wonderful way to enhance your learning and collaborative experience at the event. RSVP Here
The Gala Dinner will take place on Wednesday, July. 31st at 6:30pm at the Westin. Reservations are required for the Gala dinner. There is no additional cost for registered attendees. Suggested attire is smart casual. RSVP / Purchase Additional Tickets Here
In a long-standing Rendezvous tradition, we will be hosting informal drop-in Open Mic & Sing-Along on Tuesday, July 30th and Wednesday, July 31st. These will be informal gatherings starting around 8:30pm. Everyone is welcome to attend and if you are inclined to participate by playing a musical instrument or singing along, we encourage you to bring a tablet or phone to access lyrics (and chords) on http://www.ultimate-guitar.com. We will be providing two acoustic guitars and some hand percussions. Feel free to bring an instrument if you have one!
The secret to living is giving! It is also the best way to bond in a group. Join us for coffee at 9 AM (MT), and volunteering with the Missionaries of Charity in Denver at 10:30 AM (MT), where we’ll be helping out a homeless shelter for women. It’s an experience that will be a deathbed regret if you don’t make it.
