EXHIBITOR Sip & Stroll*

Join us for GTSC’s annual Exhibitor Sip & Stroll, an exclusive social networking event for medical professionals and exhibitors! Immediately following Thursday’s educational program, medical professionals are invited to the exhibit hall for a one-hour, informal gathering. Attendees will be grouped and rotate through the exhibit tables, spending two minutes at each booth. 

During each stop, enjoy a sample beverage or snack while listening to the exhibitor’s brief two-minute “elevator pitch.” Each booth will have a question listed in the meeting app & attendees must listen for the answer during the exhibitor’s pitch and submit it in the app.

Those who visit every booth and correctly answer all the questions will be entered into a drawing for a special prize package! It’s a great way to connect, learn, and enjoy some refreshments while supporting our exhibitors.

GOLF TOURNAMENT*

Tee off in paradise at GTSC’s Annual Golf Tournament, held Friday at the award-winning Mauna Lani Golf Course - just 2.5 miles from the Fairmont Orchid! With sweeping ocean views, year-round perfect weather, and two distinct 18-hole layouts, this course promises an unforgettable experience for golfers of all skill levels.

The cost is $270/player and includes a boxed lunch, green fee, service fee, golf cart, range balls, 2 bottles of water, GPS, bluetooth, & charging ports. Club rentals will be available onsite for $89 (includes tax).
