  Whether the shop you work in is large or small you will find plenty of new information that you can use from your time spent with the crew at Window Woman of New England. 

  This annual event brings together shop managers & leads from across the country to learn from each other and share challenges unique to those working for someone else.  

  What's included:

  • Conversations lead by the Window Woman or NE staff on lessons they have learned and how to manage the shop more effectively and efficiently from the perspective of the shop manager or team lead

  • Breakfast and lunch (please make a note on registration form of dietary restrictions)

  Thursday Happy Hour:

  • Join us for a pre-event networking mixer at 5pm on Thursday, April 30th at TBA. Participants can unwind from their travels and swap stories while enjoying some local light bites provided by the WPA.

  
  

   Friday Dinner:

  • After we finish our official workshop, anyone who is interested can join us at a local restaurant that will be shared on Friday at 6 pm to continue to network and talk shop over dinner. This is optional at your own expense.
