CarePartners of Connecticut is sponsoring the pre-GAME Kick Off Welcome Cocktail Party on August 11th from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. the night before the Garity event on August 12th. The party will be held at Grace by Nia (in the Grand Pequot Tower of the Foxwoods Resort Casino). This event is open to registered attendees of GAME and Carrier Reps/Vendors of GAME.
This event offers a unique opportunity to connect with attendees in a relaxed and informal setting the evening before the expo.
