An Evening at the Ballpark!

Join fellow maritime professionals and guests for a relaxed evening of connection and conversation at Target Field. This networking dinner is a chance to unwind, build relationships, and share ideas with others across the industry in a memorable setting.

Home of the Minnesota Twins, Target Field, the ballpark is known for its open-air feel and beautiful views of the Minneapolis skyline. It’s a great place to take in the city while enjoying a laid-back evening with colleagues and new connections.

We’ll gather in a private suite, Truly on Deck, where you’ll have a great view of the field, along with access to a terrace overlooking downtown Minneapolis. Between the setting, the food, and the company, it’s set up to be an easy, enjoyable night.

Please note that transportation will not be provided, as Target Field is within walking distance. Attendees will meet in the lobby of the Lofton Hotel before walking over together.
