Food, drink – what can I expect?

We’ve got you covered throughout the day with plenty of options to keep you fueled, caffeinated, and hydrated. We do our best to offer inclusive options for a range of dietary needs — more on that below. Here’s what to expect:

💧 WATER

  • In an effort to reduce plastic waste, water stations will be provided throughout the facility. Bring a water bottle to fill up and stay hydrated throughout the day!

🥯 BREAKFAST

  • Light breakfast will be available starting at 8:00 AM in the cafeteria area (bagels, donuts, fresh fruit, granola bars, yogurt).

🍪 SNACKS & COFFEE

  • Complimentary water, soft drinks and snacks will be available all day in the cafeteria. We’ll have fruit throughout the day and you can check out the nutrition facts for our packaged snacks here.
  • Free regular coffee will be brewing at Caribou until 2:30 PM. If you’d like to purchase other drinks or snacks, Caribou will be open 8PM-2:30PM.
  • Best Buy has also added a self-serve “connivence store” and Farmer’s Fridge at the entrance to Sandy’s (the Cafeteria), where you can purchase additional snacks, beverages, and more.

🍕 LUNCH

  • Lunch from Pizza Luce is included with your event ticket, and can be found in the Best Buy Cafeteria (Sandy’s Place). Vegetarian, Vegan and Gluten-Free pizza options will be available.
  • During lunch, the outdoor area near Sandy’s will be open and accessible for anyone who would prefer to eat outside (weather permitting). During the rest of the day, these doors will remain closed for security purposes. 

CHARLES EDGE SOCIAL HOUR

  • Joins us back in Sandy’s Place (the Cafeteria) from 4:50-7PM to mingle, network and celebrate the #MNtech community! Minnebar attendees will receive one free drink ticket, and light appetizers will be provided. A selection of both alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages will be available with your ticket and for purchase.

We do our best to accommodate dietary needs and keep everyone well-fed and hydrated — but with a crowd this size, it’s a big lift! If you’re having trouble finding something that works for you, please don’t hesitate to let us know.
