RSVP for the 2026 Character Annual Meeting

Please join us for the 5th Character Annual Meeting in Milwaukee!

This year we're moving to a new date and new venue, but our goals remain the same: To build excitement and strengthen relationships across the Character ecosystem by providing opportunities for LPs, founders, guests, and our team to gather and connect.

About the meeting

When: Monday, September 21 and Tuesday, September 22 (details below)

Where: 3rd St Market Hall and Gather at Deer District in Milwaukee

For out-of-town visitors, we have discounted hotel rooms available here (deadline to book is August 30). If you're flying in, please note that Chicago O'Hare airport is ~90 minutes from downtown Milwaukee and has more flight options than MKE.

Please let us know if you plan to attend by Friday, August 28.

We're excited to see you in Milwaukee!
