What to Expect from the SessionsGet ready to elevate the start of our conference with Madison’s finest scenery and conversation. As always, join us for wine and bite-sized delights, but this time at the Edgewater’s Sky Bar — the view doesn’t get better than this: Capitol to Lake Mendota, all in one sweep. We’re honored to welcome Chia-Jung Tsay to open IWIRC on Ice with her talk on Gendered Time Surveillance. Dr. Tsay examines how the way people monitor others’ use of time at work often plays out differently across gender lines. You can read more about her research here: <a href="https://url.us.m.mimecastprotect.com/s/SJPuCkR6pPUgrnWyu2fRCGbdja?domain=business.wisc.edu" title="https://url.us.m.mimecastprotect.com/s/SJPuCkR6pPUgrnWyu2fRCGbdja?domain=business.wisc.edu" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">WSB’s Chia-Jung Tsay Discusses Gendered Time Surveillance</a> <a href="https://url.us.m.mimecastprotect.com/s/SJPuCkR6pPUgrnWyu2fRCGbdja?domain=business.wisc.edu" title="https://url.us.m.mimecastprotect.com/s/SJPuCkR6pPUgrnWyu2fRCGbdja?domain=business.wisc.edu" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Wisconsin School of Business</a> . It feels especially fitting that someone with an academic lens will lead the opening remarks—after all, we’re meeting just blocks from the University of Wisconsin. After the opening reception, we will head to The Deliciouser, one of Madison’s most celebrated culinary destinations. We have exclusive use of the restaurant for the evening, giving attendees a private and uniquely engaging dinner centered around bold flavors, local ingredients, and chef-led storytelling. Madison has quickly become known as a food-focused, chef-driven city, blending Midwestern creativity with global inspiration. The Deliciouser embodies this spirit with its handcrafted spice blends, inventive menus, and intimate atmosphere — offering the perfect backdrop for meaningful conversation and relaxed networking as we begin our two-day retreat. On Thursday night, join us for a signature Madison evening at the historic Ellsworth Block — right on the Capitol Square. The night will feature an inspiring vision board workshop with Jackie Berndt, award-winning cheeses and other bites from nationally renowned Formagination, and drinks poured on-site by The Traveling Bartender. It’s creativity, connection, and community — all with a Madison twist.
