5pm sessions are now Happy Hour! Grab a drink (use your drink coin or cash!) and unwind with fun, light tech sessions focused on soft skills. It's the perfect relaxed way to wrap up your day—informative, engaging, and a great change of pace!
We're approving more happy hour sessions this year than ever, with Thursday evening starting with the Big Brother Big Sister raffle where you could win a Copilot+ HP laptop.
We're excited to announce the expanded reception is back for 2025! All ballrooms will again be buzzing with unique themes—from live music to games. When you register, you'll get a passport: visit each themed room, collect stamps, and earn a drink coin for Happy Hour. Check out sched for full details on room activities.
This interactive setup helps you network, explore, and get comfortable with the venue ahead of tomorrow's sessions. Where should you start? Anywhere you like—jump right in and mingle!
Highlights this year:
-
Catch our own Steve Jesok and his band performing live in Lakes A.
-
Stop by Minnetonka A to connect with Big Brothers Big Sisters. Support their impactful work with a donation and enter the raffle for Thursday evening.
- 1E will run a mobile escape room.
For 2025, instead of drink tickets, you'll receive a coin when you pick up your badge at the registration table which can be exchanged for a free drink during Happy Hour (formerly known as beer sessions). We also offer sodas and non-alcoholic beverages.
It's all about networking! MMS is as much a networking event as it is a technical event.
