Get your photos delivered right to you in your own private gallery! The photographer will be taking photos throughout the conference and you just might be in them! If you’d like to receive photos captured of YOU, simply scan the QR code to sign up.
How it works: 
1. To opt-in, scan the QR for a VERY brief registration page. Fill in your name and desired delivery method (text, email or Whatsapp). You will only do this once.
2. The system will prompt you too upload or take a selfie (we recommend you TAKE a selfie). The system will process this and issue the following message: “You’re All Set! You will be notified when you are spotted in any photos.”
3. The system then delivers images of you via text/email/Whatsapp each time new images are uploaded into your gallery (up to three times a day).

 
 
   

Get your denim and diamonds ready, and round out your conference experience with this signature ASHHRA event!  Billy Bob’s Texas is a famous country music honky-tonk located in the Fort Worth Stockyards. From 6:00 p.m. to 7 p.m., you'll have the opportunity to take photos with an authentic Texas Longhorn steer, while you enjoy food, drinks and dancing to a live band and DJ! 

IMPORTANT: Each person must have a ticket to enter the venue. This event is not included with conference registration and requires a separate ticket, so make sure you received your ticket at Registration, or stop by now to buy a ticket before they sell out (and they will!).

Ticket holders can take advantage of the free shuttle buses provided by ASHHRA from the Convention Center for the 10-minute drive to Billy Bob's Texas. The shuttles will run a continuous loop between the two locations from 5:30 to 9:15 p.m.

Thank you to our generous Social Event sponsors, HealthCare Associates Credit Union and the ASHHRA Podcast with Bo and Luke.
