PAs & Plates
PAs & Plates is an informal dining experience that combines community, conversation, and connections to produce quality professional networks and friendships between PAs that last. You will meet no more than 10 PAs from your community at each PAs & Plates dinner. Each dinner experience will be unique from those hosted before and those hosted in the future, because the theme or experience is determined by different PA hosts! The one guarantee? You will have fun!
PAs & Plates is an exclusive benefit for CAPA Members
Registration is free for members, but space is very limited—reserve your spot early!
