Kickoff Party

October 9 • 7:30 - 11:00 pm

Sneak into the ACEP23 speakeasy at the site of the old Reading Railroad Terminal for the prohibition-themed kickoff party - sponsored by ACEP.

If you have the secret password, you can pass the doorman and enjoy the beautiful art deco space within what is now the Pennsylvania Convention Center's Grand Hall, themed with decorations and music to celebrate Philadelphia, which was dubbed the worst Prohibition violator in the Commonwealth (go ahead - look it up)!

Stash the kiddos in the upstairs ballroom to watch Super Mario Bros., and get ready for lots of fun, food and cash bar. But let's try to keep it on the down low, okay?
