Don’t Miss These Signature Events at the Annual Meeting!
Make the most of your meeting experience by joining two of our most anticipated community events — spaces designed to connect, inspire, and celebrate the diversity of our field.
Space is limited, and these events will sell out. Add them to your registration today to secure your spot!
Women and Allies in Entomology Breakfast
Monday, November 10 from 6:30 - 7:45 a.m.
Ticket Price: $57.45
The Women & Allies in Entomology Breakfast is an inclusive networking event that connects women and underrepresented groups with mentors and career information. Thanks to our sponsor, Corteva Agriscience, reduced-cost breakfast tickets will be available for $5 to the first 189 Students and Early Career Professionals who register.
As our Society and this event continue to grow, and with the continued generosity of Corteva Agriscience, we are updating our ticket model to improve access for Students and Early Career Professional (ECP) members. This year, instead of offering complimentary tickets, student and ECP members can purchase a $5 reduced cost breakfast ticket during online registration. By introducing a reduced ticket price, we can provide affordable breakfasts to more students and ECP attendees.
Please note that tickets will not be available at the door. All tickets must be purchased in advance during registration and picked up at conference check-in. The only way to secure your spot and access this valuable networking opportunity is to purchase your ticket ahead of time.

Rainbow Mixer
Monday, November 10 from 8 - 11 p.m.
General Admission: $5 (standing room only)
VIP Ticket: $50 (includes access to VIP seating area and drink ticket)
Our Rainbow Mixer remains one of the most attended (and late running!) networking events; this year we’ll be holding it at “The Avenue” entertainment space, immediately across the street from the convention center.
We’ll have food trucks, alcoholic and soft drinks, and plenty of floor space to mix and mingle with your peers in the first part of the evening, before we transition into our performance showcase! Following on from the popular events in Vancouver and Phoenix, we’re going and bigger and better with full AV support, LED screens and visual effects to elevate your performers (new and old!) like never before.
Tickets for this one are limited, with a maximum capacity of 500 people, so register for this as part of your conference programming and we’ll see you there (with or without glitter).
If you feel like performing, reach out to get yourself committed to stretching your performance elytra.
