EVENTS
The ASTA Central Atlantic Chapter hosts a full calendar of professional and social events designed to keep our members connected, inspired, and informed. From casual happy hours to in-depth Lunch & Learns and special showcases, these gatherings are where relationships are built and business opportunities take root.
Events are typically held at favorite venues in the DMV area (District, Maryland, and Virginia), such as Baltimore hotels, Virginia wine tastings, and vibrant restaurants throughout the region. Attendance is open to ASTA members, with select events welcoming guests and prospective members.
