Nice timing: Weidner Center to host Presenters Network conference

At a time when the Weidner Center for the Performing Arts is in the news and the University is jumping back into the touring-program business, it’s a nice coup for the Weidner to be hosting the annual Wisconsin Presenters Network conference in Green Bay. Activities begin Sunday evening (June 24), followed by conference keynote speakers, breakout learning sessions, and artist showcases Monday and Tuesday. The network gives performing arts venues and organizations a chance to learn from one another, share, and in some cases, compare notes on tours and bookings.
