WUSS 2026 Special Events

In addition to excellent academic content, WUSS 2026 will include a variety of special events and features that provide opportunities for networking, socializing, and professional development. Be sure to maximize your WUSS experience by adding the items below to your agenda!


Tuesday Night Mixer and Karaoke Night
Tuesday, 9/1, 6:00pm – 9:00pm

Spend some time getting to know your fellow attendees, catch up with old friends, and make some new ones at our Tuesday night Networking Mixer. We like to start the conference off right with food, drinks, and a lot of fun!

Starting at 7pm, entertain your new friends with your own rendition of your favorite songs during Karaoke Night. Hosted by DJ Rad Fox, this will be an evening to remember.


Speed Networking
Tuesday, 9/1, 5:00pm – 6:00pm
Hosted by Josh

WUSS has always been a great place to expand your professional network, but this year we’re taking it to a new level with Speed Networking available just before the opening mixer. This fun and fast-paced event will allow you to meet dozens of new people with only a small investment of time!

Attendees will be paired up for a short, focused, 5-minute networking conversation. When the time’s up, you move on to your next conversational partner. If you really click with someone, you can plan to meet up later in the conference to continue the dialog!

Speed Networking will be held in Resource Central just prior to the Tuesday evening Networking Mixer.


Morning Yoga
Wednesday, 9/2 & Thursday, 9/3, 7:00am – 7:45am
With Charu

Invest in yourself and start your day off strong! WUSS is fortunate to have Charu (aka a SAS Presenter) lead morning yoga both Wednesday and Thursday. We have a beautiful poolside location (outdoor). Stretch – Breathe – Focus – Refresh – Thrive and head off for a successful conference day!
