WiscNet Connections 2026

If you’re a WiscNet member and you don’t have April 29–30, 2026 circled, highlighted, and tattooed on your calendar already, you’re doing it wrong. WiscNet Connections at SentryWorld in Stevens Point isn’t just another conference—it’s the one time of year where the entire WiscNet community drops what they’re doing, comes together, and actually moves the needle on how we connect, collaborate, and secure our digital lives.

Listen, this isn’t about sitting in a ballroom while someone reads PowerPoint slides at you. This is about two days of swapping stories, trading strategies, and, let’s be honest, making connections that pay off all year long. You’re going to get the smartest people in Wisconsin education, libraries, government, and tech all in the same room. That’s not just valuable—it’s rare.

And don’t overcomplicate this: Stevens Point, SentryWorld. That’s a beautiful venue, central in the state, easy to get to, and yes—you’ll get to eat at the place that invented the freaking potato. If that alone doesn’t get you fired up, I don’t know what will.

So, bottom line? WiscNet Connections 2026 is where the future of your network, your community, and maybe even your sanity gets decided. Save the date now, because the only thing worse than attending is hearing everyone else talk about how good it was while you’re stuck refreshing your inbox.
