EXHIBITOR SIP & STROLL* - THURSDAY

Join us for GTSC’s annual Exhibitor Sip & Stroll, an exclusive social networking event just for medical professionals and exhibitors! Immediately following Thursday’s educational program, rotate through exhibit tables, each featuring a drink or small bite. At each table, listen to the exhibitor’s two minute “elevator” pitch and enter the secret code word in the meeting app.

Those who visit every booth and correctly submit each exhibitor’s secret code word via the mobile app will be entered into two prize drawings! It’s a great way to connect, learn, and enjoy some refreshments while supporting our exhibitors.

Can’t attend? You can still visit booths during the conference, submit all of the secret code words in the app, and be entered into the two prize drawings.

GOLF TOURNAMENT* - FRIDAY

PALM SPRINGS AERIAL TRAMWAY* - FRIDAY

Take your GTSC experience to new heights! Join fellow attendees on Friday from 1pm - 5pm for a trip aboard the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway, home to the world’s largest rotating tram car. Travel more than 2.5 miles along the cliffs of Chino Canyon before arriving at the Mountain Station, 8,516 feet above sea level. Once at the top, take in spectacular valley views, hike the trails, visit the natural history museum, or simply enjoy the scenery.

The cost is $158 per adult (13+) and $138 per child (ages 3-12). Children 2 and under are free. Roundtrip transportation from the hotel, tram admission, gratuities, and bottled water are included.

A minimum of 15 participants is required for this excursion to take place, with a maximum of 39 attendees. Be sure to dress accordingly, as temperatures at the Mountain Station can be up to 30 degrees cooler than on the desert floor.

Space is limited, so reserve your spot and get ready to see Palm Springs from a whole new perspective!

CALIFORNIA WINE TASTING & CHARCUTERIE EXPERIENCE* - FRIDAY & SATURDAY

Sip, savor, and socialize with GTSC! Join us Friday or Saturday from 1pm - 2:30pm for a California Wine Tasting & Charcuterie Experience, conveniently held right at the hotel in the Sunset Room.

An expert sommelier will lead a 60 minute guided tasting featuring 5 - 6 California red and white wines, sharing insights into each wine’s unique characteristics, region, and flavor profile while you enjoy an individual chef selected charcuterie board.

Following the tasting, choose your favorite wine from those you sampled to enjoy as a full glass during 30 minutes of casual networking and conversation with fellow attendees.

The cost is $100 per person and includes the guided wine tasting, individual charcuterie board, one full glass of wine, and gratuities. Participants must be 21 or older.

Each day requires exactly 20 participants to take place and is limited to 20 attendees. If 20 people do not register for a specific day, that tasting will not take place.

Choose your preferred day, raise a glass, and enjoy a taste of California with your GTSC colleagues!
