History of the Lunch Buddy Program - in 2012, the Students and New Archives Professionals Roundtable launched the Lunch Buddy program to help new archivists and new SAA attendees network and meet their fellow conference-goers. After a brief hiatus...we're bringing it back! Whether this is your first, second, or fifteenth SAA Annual Conference, we encourage you to participate in a Lunch Buddy meetup! All conference attendees are welcome to coordinate or attend meetups. We encourage you to use this opportunity to meet new folks!

Guidelines for coordinators - Please include as much information as possible. Please arrive a few minutes before your agreed upon start time, and be sure to ask anyone who looks lost if they are looking for the SNAP lunch buddy outing. You might consider making a small sign to identify yourself as the coordinator. Consider calling your chosen restaurant before your outing to make sure they will be able to accomodate your group, whether checks can be split/cash only, etc. The default party size has been set to 6 people (1 coordinator + 5 attendees) to minimize wait times. Coordinators can limit the group size at their own discretion. If there is no more room in a given meal, you are encouraged to create another meal outing to a different location.

Notes on coordinating groups:
6
If there are already 5 attendees, not including the host, please consider signing up as a host to lead a separate group elsewhere so we don't overwhelm any restaurants/can seat groups faster.
7
If you want to organize a group that's smaller than host + 5 attendees (6 total), please indicate the maximum size.

Guidelines for attendees - All individuals are responsible for purchasing their own meals. If your plans change and you are no longer able to attend an outing you've signed up for, please remove yourself from the attendee list so others know that a spot is available.
