Next Wave+ is an advanced professional development series created by the Greater Wausau Chamber of Commerce for young professionals ready to take the next step in their leadership journey.
Building on the success of the Greater Wausau Chamber of Commerce's Next Wave program, this six-session series dives deeper into leadership, community understanding, and cross-industry collaboration. Each session is designed to give participants executive-level insights, real-world perspectives, and opportunities to connect with influential leaders shaping the Greater Wausau region.
2025–2026 schedule and program themes:
Executive Reception - December 10, 2025
Cohort participants and their management representative will be invited to join us for an executive reception at the Greater Wausau Chamber of Commerce. In addition, community executives will join the group and set the tone for the bright future the participants have.
History & Heritage – (TBD Week of January 26)
Taking place at one of Wausau's historically significant locations, the Cohort will be exposed to some of the historical impacts that built our community and how their legacies still live on today.
Quality of Life – (TBD Week of February 23)
In our community, we take pride in our Quality of Life, and this key statistic is a significant draw for many as soon as they engage with the community. This session will showcase how that is possible while having a little fun along the way.
Entrepreneurship – March 25, 2026
This region was built on the success of entrepreneurs in our area, many of whose stories have yet to be told. During this session, participants will hear from Entrepreneurs, big and small, about their process of contributing to the region, all taking place at our region's Small Business Incubator.
Regional Economic Development – May 28, 2026
Our community is in the midst of significant economic investments and shifts, and participants will have the opportunity to hear directly about them while at a regional hub of the Central Wisconsin Airport.
Leadership – (TBD Week of June 22)
This session will serve as a launching point for cohort participants to integrate the information and relationships that they have gained throughout the program.
Limited to 40 participants per series.
The registration fee is $300 per participant (includes all six sessions)
