Look, let’s be clear—this WiscNet staff-only event in Madison, Wisconsin is not about name badges or small talk. This is the inner circle. This is the people who keep the lights on, the packets flowing, and the chaos politely contained. And yeah, I’m extremely hyped about it.

Here’s the thing: Madison is home turf. This is where ideas get sharpened, opinions get louder, and someone inevitably says, “Wait, that actually might work.” What people don’t understand is that when you put the WiscNet staff in one room—engineers, ops folks, security brains, communicators, the whole beautiful mess—you get clarity. You get momentum. You get plans that actually ship.

Make no mistake, this event is about us. No posturing, no explaining the basics, no pretending we don’t know how hard this work is. It’s reflection, recalibration, and maybe a little constructive chaos. The good kind. The Madison kind.

At the end of the day, this is about trust, shared context, and remembering why we do this work together in the first place.

Bottom line: show up rested, opinionated, and ready.
