May is here, and with it comes one of the key dates in the affiliate calendar. PareshConnect returns during Rakuten Optimism in Carlsbad.
On the evening of Wednesday, May 28, just after the Golden Link Awards, join fellow Optimism attendees for a different take on networking that only PareshConnect can deliver.
Thank you to everyone who has already registered. If you have not RSVP’d yet, there is still time. If you are attending with colleagues, feel free to share this invitation with them.
This year’s PareshConnect will once again be held at Black Rail Kitchen & Bar, the same venue that hosted last year’s memorable event!
Just under a 5-minute ride from the Omni La Costa Resort and Spa, the space is well placed for continuing the celebrations after the Golden Link Awards, with plenty of room to catch up, connect, and ease into the rest of the evening.
