The Details
How it Works
Selected showrooms across the Twin Cities will each be putting on an event—and an awesome one at that! During the last four Wednesdays in July, three or four showrooms will put on four mini WINC events each Wednesday. Each showroom will have a designated 2-hour time slot.
Our Goal
Our goal with this event is to promote our members’ showrooms in a fun, memorable way. People come to WINC events because they can hang out with friends, eat awesome food, learn interesting content, be entertained, win stuff, promote their business, etc. We want the Showroom Shimmy experience to be as FUN as a WINC event while visiting showrooms around the Metro.
Why Participate in the Shimmy
You won’t want to miss the Showroom Shimmy! Here’s why:
- Have a great time with fantastic people (not just WINC members!)
- Enjoy Awesome Food, Drinks, Prizes & Swag
- Network with others in the industry
- Support Local Showrooms & Businesses
Come join the Fun!
