Posted by [Lauren Belisle](https://blog.themedtechconference.com/author/lauren-belisle) on August 10, 2017 - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) The MedTech Conference has plenty to offer -- from networking to educational sessions, plenary speakers and a bustling exhibit hall. What else does it offer? Receptions! They're the perfect way to unwind with your colleagues and friends, meet other medtech professionals and reflect on your time in San Jose.  This year, we've added an extra reception to our lineup: a closing reception on Wednesday evening after all programming ends! Given that many of our attendees are coming from the East Coast or other far-flung locales, we know lots of you are staying in Silicon Valley on Wednesday night (rather than flying home that evening like you might in a different location), and we hope this will be a great way to end your conference experience.  ![Screen Shot 2017-08-10 at 8.08.51 AM.png](https://blog.themedtechconference.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Screen%20Shot%202017-08-10%20at%208.08.51%20AM.png?width=618&height=344&name=Screen%20Shot%202017-08-10%20at%208.08.51%20AM.png) Please plan to join us on Wednesday, September 27 from 5-7:30pm at Paper Plane in downtown San Jose, named one of the "buzziest" bars in the bay area and home to creative cocktails and great food.    The food’s on us, but don’t forget your wallet as there will be a cash bar at this reception.    A bit more about Paper Plane:  - Named one of the [10 best bars in downtown San Jose](https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=33&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwiI6ZGGns3VAhVs0YMKHRifCoI4HhAWCC4wAg&url=https%3A%2F%2Ftheculturetrip.com%2Fnorth-america%2Fusa%2Fcalifornia%2Farticles%2Fthe-10-best-bars-in-downtown-san-jose%2F&usg=AFQjCNHVT_XlixS8C6JFiXmqJWLg-_s6kg) - Also recognized at one of the [San Jose bars that make you want to stay until last call](http://www.movoto.com/blog/opinions/san-jose-bars/) (challenge accepted!)  - Drink Me Mag listed it as one of the [best cocktail bars in Silicon Valley](http://www.drinkmemag.com/the-best-cocktail-bars-in-silicon-valley-san-jose-and-campbell-edition/) - It's on San Jose Eater's [Heatmap of where to eat right now](https://www.eater.com/maps/the-eater-san-jose-heatmap-where-to-eat-right-now/paper-plane) Our other receptions at the conference include:  - International Reception (Sunday evening) - AdvaMed Women's Executive Network Reception (Monday evening) - Welcome Reception (Monday evening) - Chairman's Networking Reception (Tuesday evening) - MedTech After Party (Tuesday late night) - Global Health Networking Event (Wednesday evening)  Get more details about these receptions [here](https://info.themedtechconference.com/conference-receptions).  Hope to see you there!    Topics: [Networking](https://blog.themedtechconference.com/topic/networking) #### Written by [Lauren Belisle](https://blog.themedtechconference.com/author/lauren-belisle) Lauren Belisle manages communications for The MedTech Conference.
