The Mall of America (MOA) Dine Around is an opportunity to join NSE colleagues for an informal dinner at a local restaurant. Attendees are encouraged to network, share ideas, and engage in conversation over dinner.

There are two options for participation in the MOA Dine Around:

Option 1: DIY. Connect with your NSE peeps and organize your own dinner. A list of recommended restaurants is below.

Option 2: Make New Friends. Review the list of restaurants (below), indicate your top three restaurant choices using the form on this page, and NSE-HQ will place you in a dine around group of 6 – 8 NSE colleagues based on your preferences. Please sign up by September 19. You will receive an email with your assigned Dine Around group. Groups can meet in the hotel lobby at 6 p.m. and then head to dinner together.
