Start your day on the right foot with a satisfying breakfast. Enjoy a hearty meal at Community Matters Café, or, if you're short on time, grab a quick bite at Einstein Bros. Bagels, conveniently located inside the convention center. Once fueled up, kick off your NFMT East experience by attending a variety of enriching education sessions designed to help you grow in your role and drive the industry forward.

After a morning filled with learning, you’ll be ready for a well-deserved lunch. All-Access registrants will receive a lunch coupon that is redeemable directly on the show floor, so you can enjoy your meal without having to leave the convention center. Then once you are done eating, you can explore the Expo Hall, connect with exhibitors, see their products in action and get answers to all your questions.

Wrap up the day by strengthening connections and building new ones over dinner with fellow attendees. Charlotte offers a wide selection of great restaurants, including La Belle Helene, The Cellar at Duckworth’s, Alexander Michael’s, and many more. After dinner, take advantage of the city’s vibrant entertainment scene—catch a show at the Blumenthal Performing Arts Center or enjoy the excitement of the ACC Men’s Basketball Tournament, which will be happening all week. It’s the perfect way to end your day in Charlotte!
