On Tuesday, Aug 15, we will hold the banquet at the resort's Vista Hall from 6:00-9:00pm. This will be an exciting celebration of Montana's old west spirit, including dinner and dancing. We're proud to bring on-site Montana's very own Western Root Country Dancing troupe. This will feature a fun gala of old west country line dancing and country swing - including a lesson and guided dancing. Bring your cowboy hat (or borrow one of our own) and comfortable shoes and enjoy the old west line dance.
The receptions on Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday are included with every registration (Full, Student, and Retiree).
You can purchase additional tickets for your guest to attend the banquet gala on Tuesday via the online registration. This can be done after you have already registered for the conference. Each extra ticket for the banquet is $70.
