Women In Transportation Dinner: The Women in Transportation Dinner will be held Sunday, October 4 at Caesars immediately following the Opening Cocktail Reception. This event is held on the first night of the convention to facilitate the building of relationships early in the convention. This year our theme is networking. Each table will have a facilitator with a list of possible topics to discuss. Join us and discover the benefits of networking in small groups with other transportation operators willing to share their expertise. Approximately 50 men and women attend this event creating a comfortable setting with a friendly atmosphere.
Closing Event: After days of "work hard" meetings, we have arranged a special "play hard" treat. The convention's closing party will be held at The Pussycat Dolls Lounge in the PURE Nighclub at Caesars. Tuesday evening, October 6, we will have exclusive access to this lounge prior to the nighclub's opening. Not only will you enjoy an array of heavy hors d'oeuvres and cocktails, we've also arranged for a private performance by The Las Vegas Pussycat Dolls. This sultry female dance troupe puts on a high energy rock & roll cabaret style revue singing, dancing, and teasing with a perfect mix of traditional 30's and 40's glamour in a Rock & Roll fashion all in a tasteful and corporate-friendly format. After our party, you are already "in" the #1 Hippest/Hottest Nightclub in the Nation! Explore the rest of PURE including its amazing terrace with incredible Strip views.
