Dinner Cruise

SMPC conference participants are invited to join us for a dining experience on the waters around Manhattan. SMPC has chartered a private Circle Line cruise as the main social event of the conference. Use this opportunity to connect with your fellow conference attendees while enjoying a uniquely New York experience.  The cruise will take place the evening of Tuesday, August 6.  Boarding is at 7pm from Pier 83 in Manhattan, and the ship returns to dock at 10:30pm.
 
 
The following are included in the $90 ticket price:
  • Buffet dinner aboard a Circle Line charter boat
  • Scenic views of the Manhattan skyline
  • Open beer and wine bar
  • DJ entertainment

Tickets may be purchased for yourself and up to one additional adult friend or family member by visiting the registration site through July 25.  Even if you have already registered for the conference, you can still modify your reservation to add dinner cruise tickets.
