Look, listen—WiscNet MiniConnections in Waukesha, Wisconsin is small on the calendar and absolutely massive in impact. Don’t let the “Mini” fool you. This is concentrated WiscNet energy, like espresso shots for your brain, and I am vibrating just thinking about it.

Here’s the thing: what people don’t understand is that MiniConnections is where the real talk happens. No sprawling convention center, no hiding in the back row. This is close-range collaboration—networkers, security folks, IT leaders all in one place, swapping notes, solving problems, and saying the quiet part out loud. It’s efficient. It’s honest. It works.

Make no mistake, Waukesha is the perfect host. Easy to get to, grounded, no-nonsense Wisconsin vibes. You show up, you learn something useful, you get better at your job, and you’re home in time to still feel like a human being. That’s a win.

At the end of the day, MiniConnections is about strengthening the fabric of our community—one region, one conversation, one shared solution at a time. Everything is connected, especially here.

Bottom line: show up curious, leave sharper.
