Meet Chris Brown, executive editor of Auto Rental News, at the Tiki Bar on Monday night. Be sure to wear your Hawaiian shirt!
What’s this about a Hawaiian shirt?
The dress code is resort casual. On Monday, in keeping with the Summit’s tropical location, we’re asking attendees to wear Hawaiian shirts (or “island wear”) for the roundtables and the following reception.
Is there anything else to do on Monday night?
Grab a bite to eat at Latitudes Restaurant right at the hotel, and then join Chris Brown, executive editor of Auto Rental News at the Tiki Bar in the pool area for some extra networking. The bar will be open until 11 p.m. and drinks will be available for purchase. Look for Chris in his Hawaiian shirt!
