Attendee Experience 

Pub Crawl - "Discover Brewcouver" | Wednesday, October 7, 6:00 PM - 8:30 PM

Come explore local favorites on our Discover Brewcouver Pub Walk. Our host committee hand-picked our tour stops. And there’s food! Appetizers will be available at every stop, generously sponsored by the SW Section of APA Washington.

Meet at the front doors of the Convention Center on Columbia Street about 5:45 p.m. We’ll depart promptly at 6:00 p.m. Look for group leaders holding signs identifying the Pub Walk stops. Join a group, meet your fellow walkers, and head out together to the first location.

If you’ll join up later, no problem! Check the conference app or your “Know Before You Go” email for maps and locations so you can meet up along the way. So come on out with us, have fun hanging out with fellow planners and enjoy a tour of some of our favorite local haunts.
