Location: Last Best Brewing & Distilling
Address: 607 11 Avenue SW
Time: 5:00 P.M.
Three founding voices. Real history. Clear insight. Join WISC’s path to 2030. What happens when three women from the original initiative of the Women in Supply Chain come back together in 2026 to reflect, challenge assumptions, and reimagine what comes next? This session is for women and men. For emerging leaders and established executives. For youth entering the profession. For leaders committed to developing the full spectrum of talent within their organizations. In the spirit of International Women’s Day and the theme “Give to Gain,” this conversation is grounded in a simple yet powerful truth: when leaders share their history, lessons, and lived experience, the community gains clarity, confidence, and direction.
Cost: $40 / $20 for Students
