Networking on Ice

Curling Competition

In lieu of our usual golf tournament, IAOM will be hosting our first-ever Curling Competition! No experience necessary, we’ll all be rookies and learning together. The activity will include instruction from the Chaska Curling Center staff and a friendly competition among attendees.

At the end of the competition, we will have prizes for best and worst sweeper, on-the-button (similar to a hole-in-one) and highest/lowest score.

All curlers must register in advance for the tournament. Sign up before March 17 and pay $95; after March 17, it’s $105. Registration fee includes lunch and prizes. Participants are responsible for their own transportation (approximately 20-25 minutes from the hotel by car).

Dress for the curling competition:

  • Bring along a clean pair of athletic shoes. Carry them in. It is extremely important to keep the ice clean.
  • Dress comfortably, jeans are difficult. Wear loose fitting clothes as you will be in lunge positions.
  • The curling arena is about 40ºF. Consider wearing a hat, gloves and a warm jacket or hoodie.

Spouse/Guest Program

Explore Minneapolis

The Spouse/Guest program is a great way to get to know others who are accompanying someone to Minneapolis for the conference. The group spends time visiting points of interest in the city while the educational sessions and expo continue inside the conference venue.

After breakfast Wednesday at the Hyatt Regency Minneapolis, attendees will board the bus for a trip to the Headquarters of General Mills where we will take a fun tour of their extensive archives. We will then return to downtown and the Taste Twin Cities Food/Drink Guided Minneapolis Riverwalk Tour along the Mississippi River. They’ll explore two of the city’s trendy and historical neighborhoods (Mill District and St. Anthony on Main) learning the area’s history while sampling a variety of foods with ties to Minneapolis’s multicultural communities.

The next day will begin with breakfast at the hotel. Spouses and guests will depart the hotel to Paisley Park, Prince’s private estate and production complex in Chanhassen, Minnesota. Tours take visitors throughout the extensive main floor of Paisley Park, including studios where Prince recorded, produced and mixed most of his biggest hits. After the tour, the group will board the bus to Minneapolis to lunch at Nicollet Island Inn for a delicious lunch at a scenic location.

All participants must register in advance for the program. Sign up before March 17 and pay $300; after March 17, it’s $325. Registration fee includes all meals, activities, and transportation.
