Special events

Unleash the networking potential! Every year, you tell us some of your best ideas are unleashed outside the conference classroom, so we’ve built in plenty of opportunities for Mediasite users to let their creative juices flow as you take in some of the best nightlife Madison has to offer.

Welcome reception

Join your Mediasite peers and the Sonic Foundry crew for the opening reception. It’s the perfect way to cap your travel or workshop day and mingle with other conference attendees in an informal setting.

Settle in for good company, great conversation and complimentary eats with distinctive drinks.
