I checked with the secretariat and it looks like we could do a buffet dinner (with a glass of wine included) for $80/person, where people would be able to mingle around rather than doing a seated dinner. They had previously looked at a bunch of options in the local area but for a group of 30+ people the $83 for seated or $80 for buffet was the best price they could find since most places require catering for a group of our size. Do others have preferences as regards to seated dinner vs. buffet with mingling? Alissa On Oct 2, 2014, at 2:42 AM, Manal Ismail <manal@tra.gov.eg> wrote:

Manal, thank you for sharing your thoughts. In my experience seated dinners only allow for a very limited interaction. An option would be preferable where free "mingling" is possible to maximise interaction. Michael

Thought it may be useful to post this in a separate thread .. Just want to echo a few thoughts that were shared in call#5 chat room regarding ICG dinner .. · Agree to benefits of having an ICG social event /informal gathering .. · Agree with those who felt the dinner is a bit expensive .. · Will still join if no other options are feasible .. · Agree to keep it an ICG dinner to encourage communication and engagement among ICG members ..
