Kick off Friday night at our fun-filled Meet & Greet Party! It’s the perfect opportunity to enjoy an evening of laughter, conversation, great music, and good company. Whether you’re catching up with familiar faces, meeting someone new, or simply soaking in the vibrant atmosphere, this is the night to relax, have fun, and celebrate an unforgettable conference.
Our Friday evening Meet & Greet is also a spectacular costume party, giving you the chance to unleash your creativity and embrace your wild side with any costume you choose. But it’s more than just dressing up. It's about letting go, celebrating community, and creating memories that will last long after the conference ends.
Of course, no costume party would be complete without a little friendly competition. Our costume contest, offering $700 in prizes, is one of the evening’s highlights. Categories celebrate everything from individual ingenuity to group creativity, so no matter your style, you’ve got a chance to shine and walk away with a prize.
Take a look at the categories and prizes:

The costume party was so much fun! I wasn’t planning on dressing up in costume, but my friends made me do it, and I am so glad they did. I haven’t had a costume on since I was a kid. I will be back in 2025! - Sarah
Before WLS, I would never dress up, as I lacked confidence and didn’t want to draw extra attention to myself. For the OH2023 Conference, my friend and I had so much fun planning our costumes. Letting loose and dressing up was a blast! It was great seeing all the creative costumes and everyone having a good time. I had a huge smile on my face all night, and I am looking forward to next year! - Steve
Every year, I look forward to the Halloween costume party. It’s a time for adults to dress up and let our inner child come out to play. I enjoy socializing with others and dancing the night away. - Lindsey
The Meet & Greet Costume Party is one of my favorite parts of the conference each year. It is so much fun to see everyone dancing and having a good time. I love our community! - Rusty
