BIPOC Lounge

The Society acknowledges the unique personal and social burdens many Black, Indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC) experience in conference spaces.

Amenities in the space include:

  • A complimentary massage therapist
  • Relaxed seating
  • A selection of herbal and flavored teas

Recharge Lounge
