One of the drug reps that came in last month told us that they were no longer allowed to offer events at 5 star resturaunts that it must be a "modest" meal. Moreover, they are no longer allowed to just drop off food or freebees. The reason given for this is that dropping off items without an appointment is more like a "gift". So, I am very surprised that with the new pharmaceutical regulations that they are allowed to offer an educational lectures at a "swanky-poo" resturaunt. Maybe you could report this.
