Rock-n-Bowl Networking Reception
The Corner Alley is the ultimate entertainment experience for SMRP members to network, combining a 16 lane hip bowling alley, billiards, a martini bar and sleek, casual-dining. Each year the networking receptions bring more and more members - last year was sold out - so you won't want to be left out of the Rock-n-Bowl. Space is limited, so sign up at the time you register for the conference for only $25/person. Guests and Spouses are welcome.

Spouse Programs
While the attendees are busy with the educational sessions and roaming the exhibit hall floor, the guests and spouses can enjoy a great time seeing Cleveland.... by land, by water and by drinking wine in the local vineyards! SMRP has two wonderful programs planned for Tuesday, October 21 and Wednesday, October 22. Each program costs $75/person and includes breakfast, lunch, transportation, guide and access to the tours. Due to the nature of the tours, no children will be allowed. Registration will be available on the conference registration form. For a detailed description of each tour, CLICK HERE
