Monday Night Event - Hard Rock Café at Pier 39
Though it was founded in 1776 and grew up during the 1848 Gold Rush, San Francisco really made a name for itself in the turbulent 1960s. Political protests, the infamous “summer of love,” and, of course, the ground-breaking music scene all marked San Francisco as a cultural focal point. And this city with a past still makes the scene today. Whether it’s foot-stomping live music or another 6.5 on the Richter, San Francisco truly rocks!
Back in the ’60s, hippies congregated at Haight-Ashbury; but these days the rockinest spot is the Hard Rock Cafe San Francisco. Where else can you eat the tastiest burger in town and trip out on groovy rock artifacts and treasures, while jamming to the most outta-sight tunes? The mind-blowing memorabilia collection featuring great locals is far out, man!
Pier 39 offers fabulous views of Alcatraz, San Francisco Bay, and the city skyline and is home to more than 110 stores, 11 full-service restaurants, and plenty of fun-filled attractions.
Our plated dinner will include salad, your choice of entrée, unlimited soft drinks, coffee, tea; one drink ticket good for wine, beer, or mixed drink; and dessert. A cash bar will also be available.
This event is included for all fully registered attendees and those exhibitors who have purchased a social registration. Guests and additional exhibitors are welcome to attend for a $47 fee. (Space is limited.) ACUTA policy prohibits children under age 16 from attending this event.
