The *Networking dinners*, on both Friday and Satuday evenings, are always
popular and offer a wide variety of experiences. You can choose by leader,
or by colleagues, or by restaurant.

The *Forum UnCommons* room will be an always open multi-purpose area to
gather, meet, share, interact, and explore together. Activities can be
planned using the Forum wiki
<http://litaforum.org/wiki/index.php?title=2015_Uncommon_Room>or ad hoc and
spur of the moment. The room will have meeting tables with power and a
theater seating area with a screen and projector. Space to do whatever
meets your and your colleagues needs for collaboration, learning and fun.
