Join other research symposium attendees for food, fun, and conversation at Condado Tacos, self-described as a place to come as you are, soak up the local vibe, and feel connected. Co-chairs Marijke Hecht and Kathayoon Khalil will be there to welcome everyone and kick off two days of learning, sharing, and community-building. The restaurant is within easy walking distance of the Westin Pittsburgh. Registration is required due to a limitation on group size, but individuals will order off the regular menu and pay individually. Vegan and vegetarian options readily available.
