About This Event

You’ve heard of Wilder, but are you curious about what we actually do? Start your day with a burst of energy from Wilder team members.

You’ll leave knowing more about who we are, what we do, and how you can get involved. Through this event’s unique “speed-dating” style, you’ll be with a small group and rotate through stations to learn about four featured areas.

It’s a wonderful chance to get to know Wilder more deeply and network with like-minded inquirers.
