 ROUNDTABLE SOCIAL HOURS

MBPR organizes informal social hours at area bars and restaurants during months when no luncheon has been planned. These events are ideal for socializing and networking with your peers in the publishing industry. No RSVP is necessary. See our home page for the date and location of our next gathering.


NOTICE TO FREELANCERS/VENDORS: Roundtable social hours are low-key events for unwinding with colleagues after a day of work. If you wish to make sales pitches or to set up an informational interview with any of our member publishers, please do so during business hours. For member contact information, see our home page for the link to our membership directory.
