In a first this year, there will be an optional session or two Thursday afternoon prior to the Welcome Reception. Stay tuned!

5:30 PM: Welcome Reception at Scottsdale Stadium
Our annual informal ice-breaker meets an hour before gametime at one of the gathering spots at Scottsdale Stadium, just a 12-min drive from the hotel. Rub shoulders with presenters and attendees over appetizers and a cash bar. For our first timers, this is a chance to get a quick "lay of the land" of the weekend experience to come in our First Timers' Meetup as you'll get to know FPAZ veterans and speakers who will answer all your questions. For veterans, the perfect place to reconnect with old friends and make some new ones via that legendary First Pitch comaraderie! Then grab a seat (if you wish) and take in the weekend's first ballgame, Salt River at Scottsdale, starting at 6:30.
