2026 Wisdom, Innovation, & Networking

SD CEO West

Welcome to Wisdom, Innovation, & Networking

We are your support network!

Wisdom, Innovation, & Networking (WIN) is a networking & training event for women in South Dakota that provides opportunities to promote your business, organization, or event. 

Entrepreneurs, aspiring entrepreneurs, business owners, students, intrapreneurs - those who work for a company, municipality, higher ed or nonprofit - all are welcome.

We focus on helping each other grow personally and professionally while networking with other women in the Northern Hills, Rapid City, and Chamberlain-Oacoma.

If you are interested in attending one of our Wisdom, Innovation, and Networking events, here is what you can expect:

  • 30 Second Networking - Everyone has a chance to share their name, some information about themselves or their business, and promote something they really care about.

  • Lunch or Breakfast - Catered in and tailored to your dietary preferences if needed.

  • Presentation - Every WIN enjoys a 10-15 minute educational speaker to help improve your personal and professional life.

  • Close & Doorprizes - Bring a doorprize to help promote your business. This is optional and you are always welcome to enter for the drawings.

You can see upcoming 2026 WIN events below. Please note that dates and times are subject to change.
