ACTIVITIES
Turtle Team Tournament
What better way to explore and meet new friends than joining in on the Turtle Team Tournament sponsored by MILWAUKEE TOOL! You may be wondering why there's a Turtle in the title, but we don't want to give too much away. Let's just say that you'll know a lot more about this protected species by the end of this week, in addition to having a great time!
Events will be held throughout the conference but, not to worry, they will not interfere with your ability to attend any conference programs. Participation is open to all primary conference registrants, and if you choose to participate, you will randomly be assigned to a team.
This is a great way to explore the area, collaborate with industry peers, and have fun! When you register, check the "Turtle Team Tournament" box to join!

Special Partner Program
Focus on Wellness
In a busy and hectic world, it can be hard to take a little bit of time for yourself. We’re giving you that opportunity with your choice of these two activities:
Self-Care Massage Class: This class is designed to teach you how to take better care of your body by using self-massage techniques and specialized tools which will assist in relieving tension and increasing mobility.
Yoga Nidra/Sleep Class: Many people have a hard time falling and staying asleep, in large part due to the stresses of daily life encroaching into their nighttime routine. An expert team of Yoga Nidra practitioners will facilitate this sleep class, designed to give direction on achieving better sleep. They will also discuss the science of sleep and what happens to you mentally and physically when you don't sleep well.
Each class is limited to 30 guests. You will be able to sign up for your choice of class onsite, at the conference, starting Sunday, October 22 at the MSCA Registration & Information Desk.
