Networking is one of the top reasons attendees come back to RISE National year after year.
This is where connections are made and relationships are fostered. Take a look at the networking opportunities that are available at RISE National 2025.
Networking Receptions
Join us in the exhibit hall for our lively networking receptions, where all attendees are welcome to enjoy complimentary drinks, delicious hors d'oeuvres, and an evening of engaging conversation and fun. These receptions are the perfect opportunity to unwind after a day of sessions, connect with peers, and build relationships with industry leaders in a relaxed and festive atmosphere.
Networking Breakfasts & Lunches
Start your day with a gourmet breakfast and recharge midday with a delicious lunch - far from your typical conference fare! Our five-star conference experience features top-tier cuisine designed to satisfy every craving. But these meals offer more than just nourishment - they are the perfect opportunity to connect with fellow attendees, exchange ideas, and build relationships in a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere.
Interactive Roundtables
Pull up a chair and settle in for this unique opportunity to select three interactive, speed-networking type presentations featuring the latest technologies and solutions for boosting your plan's risk, quality, and data management endeavours. A bell rings three times within this special 60-minute session, alerting you to transition to the next roundtable of your choice.
Hallway Chats
Hallway chats are the backbone of RISE National, and with new, extended networking breaks plugged into the schedule, you'll have ample time to grab a speaker in the hallway and ask your most pressing questions.
Food Packing Event
Join your peers for a Food Packing Event in partnership with U.S. Hunger and help pack meals for those in need, creating meaningful connections with others while making an impact on the community.
