Celebrate with tech & business leaders from the Metro Milwaukee area

Please join i.c.stars |* Milwaukee for our first StarBash end of year celebration event!  We were hoping to celebrate in person but due to the impact of COVID we will be celebrating virtually in the comfort of our own surroundings. 

StarBash will bring together i.c.stars board members, alumni, staff and supporters who have empowered us to code the future (reimagine the future); creating jobs, leaders, and social justice in Milwaukee.  As a part of i.c.stars first annual StarBash event you will be entertained by our “Superhero” CIO/Alum Presentations & meet new people with speed networking sessions via breakout rooms.  What better way to finish out the year than by recognizing all the superheroes around us!

​Pour yourself a drink of choice during this lively networking event, we’ll share the recipe for the signature cocktail in advance!
