Frequently Asked Questions

  • The venue is a 10-minute walk from the Langley Building, and there will also be two golf cart shuttles running from the office to the venue before and after the event as well. 

  • Please make sure to list your dietary needs in your RSVP form and we will make sure you have an alternate option available. 

  • Our red-carpet check-in will begin promptly at 1pm, and we would like everyone in their seats ready to start the program by 2pm. This will give everyone plenty of time to check out sponsor tables and say hello to everyone before starting. We will also have plenty of photo ops, so make sure you get to the venue with enough time to check everything out and get settled in before the program begins. 

  • No, you do not need to take PTO. For hourly SLG associates, please direct any questions to your supervisor.

  • There will be alcohol and non-alcoholic drinks available. Each attendee will receive three drink tickets at check-in. The bar will open during cocktail hour at 4:15 PM, after which it will transition to a cash bar once drink tickets have been used. We encourage everyone to enjoy the evening while remaining responsible. Rideshare expenses will be reimbursed if needed.

  • Attendance is limited to SLG associates, Scott Tansil’s direct reports, select SLG partners across the bank, and approved sponsors. Sponsors are invited to attend, connect with SLG associates, and engage in person. For additional invite requests, contact David Bocangel at dbocangel@firstbankonline.com.
