WEC 18

WEC18: Redesigned for Maximum Experience

WEC18 in Indianapolis features a completely redesigned education and engagement program unlike anything we’ve produced before. With the all-new WEC Villages, we’re taking education out of session rooms and bringing it to life in an open and interactive environment. Watch the video below to discover how the Villages are the cornerstone of WEC’s new format, enabling more education, more connections and more customization than ever before.
