Some of the most meaningful connections and opportunities for getting to know others takes place once the sessions are over. Unwind after a full day of learning and share thoughts and ideas with old friends and meet new ones. Whether you are looking to grab a bite, have a drink or jam out with live music, there is something for you on our social calendar.
These will be updated closer to the 2026 Conference.
Join us as we kick off an incredible week at #TSCamp2024! Perfect for first-timers (hop over after the First Timers’ Orientation happening from 5 pm-6 pm at the convention center), any pre-con attendees, and those coming down early to beat the Tuesday morning check-in lines.
Get to know fellow attendees and start the week off making new friends! All are welcome!

This event is free and open to all! Cash bar available (the kitchen will be closed so plan to eat before you arrive).
Join us in the exhibit hall for an hour of unopposed time to shop and schmooze with our 300+ exhibitors. Have a snack at a food vendors booth, try your hand at one of the many games or attractions, swing on a Ninja Warrior Course rig, create at one of the many arts & craft vendors’ booths, and get your vendor “passport” stamped for your chance to win $250*!
*Raffle winner will be announced on Wednesday, March 15th at 4:55 pm back in the exhibit hall. Must be present to win.

Bring your lunch and help us celebrate and support our amazing community of visitors!
