An Interagency planning meeting schedule will be announced. Most meetings will be held at the Veterans Affairs Regional Office Training Suite, Room 298, of the Bishop Henry Whipple Federal Building in Fort Snelling. This meeting is open to all agencies and it is not mandatory to attend all sessions.
Several meetings require mandatory attendance for metropolitan agencies.
Standing capacity for this area is over 2,000 people as this area of the mall is four stories in height and specifically constructed for standing and watching events. The entire U.S. Congressional Delegation of Minnesota is invited and will be represented at the event by a staffed booth. These locations are the area for agency exhibits. Exhibits need to be planned for the entire family from children to senior adults. Emphasis will be on fun and excitement.
