Reception Dinners
Join Us for Two Exciting Reception Dinners at the 2026 OAC!
We are thrilled to announce that for the 2026 OAC, we will be hosting **TWO (2)** reception dinners for several reasons:
It marks the **55th OAC Anniversary!** What better reason to come together, strengthen our connections, and celebrate 55 years of working **Better Together**?
While the Hyatt Grand Reserve is an **AMAZING resort**, accommodating large crowds for dining can be a challenge, so let's continue the celebration together! The Welcome Reception on **Sunday (3/1/2026)** is themed! Join us for our **“Festival de los Colores”** Be sure to wear your festive island colors for the evening!
On **Monday night (3/2/2026)**, we'll honor the 55th OAC Anniversary with a **“Fiesta Blanca” Reception!** Please wear all **WHITE** to this special dinner!
We are counting down the days until the 2026 Outside Apprenticeship Conference!
