Programs

Dine & Learn

WISE NYC Metro Chapter Dine & Learn series is one of the chapter’s Signature Programs exclusively for current WISE members (originally as part of NYC Metro’s Women’s History Month programming in March). The Dine & Learn program enables us to offer members an exclusive opportunity to learn from leading professionals in sports business during a small group 45-minute power session. Typically held over breakfast or lunch.

Dine & Learn sessions are held at various points during the program year, be sure your membership is current so you don’t miss out on updates. Be sure to add wisenyc.org to your email address book so that you do not miss important communications from us.

How It Works

Dine & Learn is for current WISE NYC Metro Chapter members only. Participation in the sessions is by advance registration only. The session seating is limited and available on a first come, first served process. You must meet all the criteria for the session you wish to attend.

Dine & Learn sessions are announced via WISE NYC Metro e-newsletter. Registration will close at the time and date specified in the email announcement, or when the session has reached capacity. Seating is very limited, early registration is strongly recommended. Please be sure to add wisenyc.org to your email address book.

Benefits of Dine & Learn

Opportunity to connect with senior and executive level sports business professionals with whom you may not otherwise have the opportunity to connect with in a near one-on-one environment. You will learn about an industry topic or trend and while having the opportunity to interact other NYC Metro Chapter members and grow your network in a more focused setting than our traditional networking and program events provide.
