’ 17 RECAP

Delegates see the best of St . Louis at evening events

After the convention floor closed for the day , delegates continued making new connections at nighttime social events . The City Museum , Ballpark Village , the Hard Rock Cafe and Anheuser-Busch brewery hosted parties , and two nights of Dine-around events offered NTA members a taste of St . Louis ’ local cuisine .
St . Louis knocked it out of the park at TREX
’ 17 . Every event was fantastic ! Great food , great venues and great opportunities to mingle with friends and colleagues !

I love that , as attendees , we are able to truly immerse ourselves in the host city . My favorite event in St . Louis was at the City Museum , where we explored a repurposed building . ( It was ) something I never would have known about otherwise , and it ended up being something I would definitely make a return visit to .

All of the evening functions were outstanding , but my favorite was touring the Cardinals Hall of Fame at Ballpark Village and having the opportunity to try on the 2006 and 2011 World Series rings . What an experience !”
