We have reached our max capacity for the Mix and Mingle and have opened up a waiting list. We may be able to open up a few more spots later on once we determine how many spots will be filled by sponsors and other special guests. Those on the wait list will be given the first shot at any new spots that are opened on a first come, first serve basis.
Due to strong demand, we have expanded capacity for the Seminar Speech/Q&A Session by moving from the Auditorium to the Atrium in Wake Forest Biotech Place at Innovation Quarter. We can now accommodate at least 200 people for the speech at 7:30pm on January 7..
Kick off the first weekend of 2023 with a fun filled weekend featuring speaker Des Linden! The TCTC Winter Seminar will coincide with the Frosty Fifty race weekend. Des Linden will run the Frosty Fifty 25K race followed by afternoon and evening events with Des.
