JT50 - Dinner and Social Tickets Still Available!

Hello JT50 Alumni!

We heard from many of you over the weekend worried that tickets sales for the Friday Night Social and Saturday Dinner were closed.

Due to technical difficulties, ticket sales were interrupted over the weekend of May 3rd and May 4th. This has been resolved, and tickets are again available to be purchased.

The RBC Convention Centre has asked us to finalize attendance for the Saturday dinner by Friday, May 9th.  If you plan on attending you need to purchase your ticket before then.  We will have some extra seats after May 9th available on a first come first serve basis.


Hope to see you soon!

Thanks,

JT50 Administration
