The MCAA is thrilled to announce that we have booked the entire first floor of Topgolf Las Vegas, bringing our total number of available bays to 33. This event, on Monday, January 16th from 6:00 – 9:00 PM is set to break records, and all funds will go to support the MCAA's Political Education Fund. The MAC PEC helps fund MCAA’s lobbying efforts and allows us to be front and center on national issues affecting you and your company.

The three-hour event will feature an open bar, full barbecue dinner, and a customizable dessert station. Golf, competitions, and raffles will also be part of the event. The first 200 ticket holders to arrive at the event will also receive a swag bag filled with items from several of our sponsors.
