The Tippie College of Business is proud to serve as a location sponsor for the Greater Des Moines Partnership's Out to Lunch series. This free, public event offers a fun and welcoming opportunity for downtown employees, residents, and visitors to gather, connect, and enjoy a lively outdoor atmosphere.

We warmly invite Tippie alumni and all University of Iowa graduates to join us. With a great lineup of food vendors, live music, and games—plus a few Hawkeye-themed prizes—there will be something for everyone.

The event will take place rain or shine. In the case of a weather emergency, the Partnership will share any updates.

We hope to see you there!
