Growth, On Purpose: A WISE Workshop Experience
Feb 12, 2026, 5:30 PM - 7:00 PM EST
at Havana Room

Join WISE (Women Interdisciplinary Society in Entrepreneurship) for a 90-minute evening celebrating growth, innovation, and community. 

 Anchored in this year’s Summit theme, Good to Grow, the evening is designed as two back-to-back, 45-minute interactive workshops, each offering a distinct lens on growth and entrepreneurship.

Together, these sessions invite attendees to reflect on where they are in their journey, connect with others at similar stages, and exchange lessons learned about building ideas in real time.

5:30–6:15 PM | Session 1: Where Are You Growing?

An interactive workshop where attendees identify their current stage of growth: Seed, Sprout, or Bloom. Participants place their stage sticker on a shared board, then break into small groups with others at the same stage to discuss what brought them there and what challenges feel most uncertain right now. Attendees leave support, clarity, and reassurance from others navigating the same phase.

6:15–7:00 PM | Session 2: Breaking the Growth Myths

A collaborative discussion unpacking the mental blocks and myths people wish they had known earlier about entrepreneurship. Attendees contribute honest reflections to a shared “myth wall,” which is clustered live into common themes. Small groups then dive into one theme to explore why it shows up and how their perspective might shift moving forward. Participants leave with reframed mindsets, takeaways, and shared knowledge from others. 

Whether you join for one session or stay for both, this experience is intentionally designed to foster open conversation, curiosity, and collaboration across different stages of growth.

The evening is powered by WISE, a women-led community dedicated to supporting and uplifting women and underrepresented individuals as they explore entrepreneurship, innovation, and leadership.

Let me know if you have any questions. See you next week!
