Social & Networking
Educational sessions and information sharing are the core of the GHSA Annual Meeting, but we recognize it’s important to unwind, make new connections and catch up with friends. We’ve built in several social and networking opportunities into your time in Minneapolis.
Sunday, August 30
Join us on Sunday evening for the Opening Celebration in the Exhibit Hall for a night of fun, friends, food and music!
Check out the latest safety tech and services, add to your safety network with a new connection and relax after a productive and informative day.
Monday, August 31
Wrap up your Monday with social time in the Exhibit Hall, then hop on a bus to check out the Minnesota State Fair!
Often dubbed the “Great Minnesota Get-Together,” the state fair is held on the 322-acre Minnesota State Fairgrounds, renowned for its beautiful gardens and art deco architecture. Don’t miss your chance to see sculptures made from butter, eat something fried and enjoy the festivities with some unique local flair.
