The Venue
For over 120 years, racing fans from all over the world have gathered beneath the legendary Twin Spires of Churchill Downs. And what they have witnessed there goes beyond just the finest Thoroughbred racing in the world. They have experienced a longstanding tradition of Kentucky hospitality and historic charm.

The historic renovation of Churchill Downs was designed to make this not only Kentucky's most significant landmark, but also its most luxurious.

The evening will begin with reception overlooking the Paddock, where jockeys have received last minute instructions from world-famous trainers. Dinner will include a Millionaires Row experience. Views will include the Winner’s Circle and history’s most famous homestretch.

The AAA Evening Out is included for full Conference registrants. Guests are welcome and encouraged to attend. Guests may register for a fee of $169 each which includes Tuesday’s Mint Julep Welcome Reception and the AAA Evening Out.
