WiCEA - Spin the Rolodex Summer Edition
🍹
Grab your sunnies, shake up your favorite summer drink, and join us for a special casual edition of Spin the Rolodex!
We’re shaking up our usual schedule to make it easier for our community on both sides of the Atlantic to join. Whether you're sneaking away for a quick lunch break in North America or winding down your workday in Europe, this is your space to connect.
What is Spin the Rolodex? It’s WiCEA’s fast-paced, high-energy networking format! No long presentations—just direct, engaging breakout rooms designed to help you meet fellow growers, researchers, entrepreneurs, and industry allies in the Controlled Environment Agriculture space.
In the Spirit of Summer:
This session is completely open to everyone—women and allies alike! We are keeping it delightfully informal. All you need to bring is yourself, your ideas, and a summer beverage of your choice. Need inspiration? We’ve got you covered with three CEA-inspired drink recipes pinned to the event board (including a delicious non-alcoholic option!).
