Time: 6 PM – 9 PM
Join us on Wednesday, May 13th, for our inaugural in-person conversation event, where curated dialogue and wine set the tone for a focused and engaging evening.
This is not a typical networking event. WISC and WINE is designed with limited ticket availability (only 24 tickets sold) to maintain a small, intentional setting that encourages meaningful participation.
Each event will feature guest speakers who will share insights into their industry, including successes, challenges, and lessons learned. This creates an opportunity for everyone in the room to listen, learn, ask questions, and contribute to a broader exchange of ideas and best practices.
If you are looking for a more thoughtful and engaging way to connect, learn, and contribute, this is where it starts.
