FOOD:

For the first time at the Biz Dash, teams will be allowed to bring their own food and snacks to the event on Lou Fusz Plaza. Team captains are welcome to work with a restaurant, vendor or caterer of choice to coordinate food for their team as long as they have a team meeting space reserved.

TEAM MEETING SPACES:

Any teams wanting to bring in food must have a team meeting space reserved. The 10×20 (Tier 3), 20×20 (Tier 2) and 20×40 (Tier 1) team meeting spaces all include one or more 8-ft tables.

The 8-ft table in Tier 4-Option B (10×10) is intended to give teams space to set up food they plan to serve. The cocktail tables in Tier 4-Option A (10×10) will be a better fit for teams that don’t plan to bring food into the event. If you had previously selected Option A, but would like to switch to Option B to allow more space for food setup, please let us know so we can update your team meeting space settings.

DROP-OFF:

Team captains will be able to drop off and set up food starting at 4pm on Thursday, May 22. We will have a designated drop-off lane on Olive Street on the north side of Lou Fusz Plaza. Please scroll to the bottom of the page for more details.

Drop-off & Logistics

Teams that have purchased a starter pack will receive one parking pass in the CITY garage located at the corner of Olive and 20th Street to help with transporting food to your team meeting space. If you are bringing food to the event, please park in the garage and unload from there. The parking pass will be distributed during packet pick-up with your team box.

For those ordering delivery, a drop-off lane will be available on Olive along the north side of Energizer Park between 20th and 21st Streets. As we anticipate a number of teams taking advantage of this, team captains will need to coordinate having someone at the drop-off lane to receive your delivery immediately upon the driver’s arrival. Drivers will not be permitted to wait for you to pick-up a delivery. If you are not there when they arrive, the driver will be instructed to circle the block until you arrive. At that time, they can enter the drop-off lane.

To enter the drop-off lane, drivers should travel east on Olive and enter at the designated point of entry as marked by a sign. There will be a Biz Dash staff member on hand to monitor the drop-off lane to ensure a steady, efficient flow of traffic. Please plan to be in communication with your delivery driver and be ready to receive your order when they arrive.
