The meal plan keeps your group close, so you can spend more time connecting.
PURCHASEWe give two hours for meals at CROSS CON. Group leaders consistently tell us those hours end up being some of the most meaningful time of the conference.
The meal plan keeps your group seated together in the Exhibit Hall at America's Center — the same building where all sessions take place. No one's navigating a new city. No one splits off to find food. No logistics to manage. Just two hours to sit down, eat, and talk through what you've been learning.
Your meal plan covers four meals across two dinners and two lunches.

Chick-Fil-A Sandwich

McAlister's Roasted Turkey

Chick-fil-A 8-Count Nuggets

McAlister's Black Forest Ham
Note: All meals include chips, a dessert (cookie or brownie), and a bottle of water.

Every meal is served in the Exhibit Hall at America's Center — steps from where all main sessions take place. Seating isn't assigned, but there's ample room for groups to sit together.
Can my entire group sit together?
We can seat up to 3,000 at round tables. While seating isn’t assigned, there’s ample space for most groups to sit near each other.
Where can I pick up my meal plan ticket(s)?
Meal plan tickets are picked up at the registration check-in area prior to the first session.
What is the refund policy?
If you select the "refundable ticket" option at checkout, you can request a refund (minus a $10 fee per ticket) anytime before December 1.
Note: Tickets without the refundable option are non-refundable.
Can I purchase the meal plan onsite?
No. Meal plans must be purchased in advance. The final deadline is December 1, or while supplies last.
Are there vegetarian, gluten-free, or allergy-friendly options?
Unfortunately, meals are fixed and we are unable to offer substitutions for dietary restrictions.
