SC25 isn’t just about the sessions — it’s also about the conversations, collaborations, and connections that happen beyond the conference rooms. This year, we’re excited to unveil four unique receptions that showcase the best of St. Louis, from high-energy sports vibes to immersive science and engaging on-site experiences. These are the moments where inspiration meets community, and we hope you will join us.

We can’t wait to welcome you to these signature SC25 receptions. Come for the networking, stay for the experiences — and leave with memories that extend far beyond the conference.

We’re igniting festivities to thank our exhibitors at SC25 with a high-energy evening at FanDuel Sports Network Live!, the centerpiece of Ballpark Village and a favorite hangout for St. Louis sports fans. Formerly known as Bally Sports Live!, this newly rebranded venue blends the buzz of game night with the warmth of a community gathering.

With two expansive levels, a 65-foot LED video wall, and over 1,200 square feet of HD displays, you’ll be surrounded by movement, color, and excitement from the moment you arrive. Whether you’re reconnecting with familiar faces or meeting new colleagues, it’s the perfect place to relax, chat, and enjoy the pulse of the city. Thanks to its 100-foot retractable glass roof, we’ll be soaking in both the night sky and the incredible energy of SC25.

We’ll close the week with an evening that celebrates exploration and curiosity at the beloved St. Louis Science Center — a multi-award-winning space where science sparks connection, creativity, and wonder. There will be delicious food and beverages along with lively entertainment that everyone will want to see.

The Science Center is considered one of the Top 5 museums of its kind in the U.S., serving as a gateway to learning and imagination for the entire community.

McDonnell Planetarium, and the breathtaking five-story OMNIMAX® Theater — all designed to ignite curiosity and inspire awe. 

It’s the perfect setting to reflect on a week of cutting-edge breakthroughs, celebrate new ideas, and look ahead to the future we’re building together — side by side, in one of St. Louis’s most inspiring venues.
