Mingle & Karaoke!

Thursday, June 18th at 5:30pm

3rd floor

The countdown has begun for our annual WIFYR KARAOKE PARTY!

This year we're celebrating PLOT TWISTS and POP HITS!

BOOGIE ON OVER for treats, and an EPIC writers soda pop bar where you can mix up a BELT IT CAROL and then live to tell the tale!

If you think you've seen karaoke before, think again! We're adding a new TWIST this year that's going to make this party POP!

Register for a Hands-On Workshop

Hands-On Workshops (HOWs) are part of the breakout sessions during the afternoon portion of the conference. They are a 1.5 hour class that is more intensive than the usual breakouts. Participants will attend the entire class and that will be the only breakout they attend for the afternoon.

We ask that you register in advance. If during the conference you have not registered but want to attend, it will be a first-come, first-serve basis. There are limited seats.

Can't remember if you've registered? Email wifyrstaff@gmail.com.
