Dine-Arounds 2018

Dine around St. Louis with your new, current, and old colleagues on Wednesday and Thursday evenings. Choose from a variety of award-winning restaurants, and take a short walk or ride with your fellow conference attendees before sharing stories and insights together over dinner.

St. Louis is made up of several cultural neighborhoods, and our dine-arounds are designed so that you can explore a diversity of its local flavors. Visit the Italian district of St. Louis with dinner at Favazza’s on the Hill, make it an Irish pub night in another historic district with dinner at John D. McGurk’s, or if you are looking for the best sushi in town, be sure to check out the Drunken Fish. View all your dine-around options below.
