Join us for TRF’s post-conference dinner outing at Uncle Julio’s, a Mexican restaurant featuring “made-from-scratch” entrees and desserts. Attendees will be able to choose from a list of menu options including vegetarian fare, and there will be a cash bar. Uncle Julio’s, at 4301 Fairfax Drive in Arlington and next to major hotels, is a 17-minute (.8 miles) walk from the conference center and a half-mile from the Virginia Square Metro Station. Attendees will be able to rideshare together if they would prefer not to walk to and from the restaurant. We’ll also have an announced pre-dinner mixer at a nearby pub from 5 – 6 pm. $50.
