What is a Dine Around?
A DINE-AROUND is an evening event planned, organized and hosted by individual supplier companies, a group of suppliers or a DMO/regional organization where selected buyer/operators are invited out to dinner for informal networking. Held on evenings where there are no conflicting ABA events, this is an opportunity to suppliers to “wine and dine” clients to thank them for their business or to create new relationships for future business. The Dine-Around evening can also be used as an opportunity to relax and network with friends and colleagues, and enjoy all that the ABA Host City has to offer! Supplier companies or individuals interested in organizing a Dine-Around are encouraged to contact their local DMO representative for assistance. The ABA Host City Booth also provides information on local restaurants that would be ideal venues for a Dine-Around. Because Buyer/Operator schedules tend to be quite booked, suppliers are encouraged to contact them in advance to invite them to Dine-Arou
