NARI Milwaukee After 5

Various Locations

Where Connections Happen After Hours

After 5 brings the NARI Milwaukee community together for an evening of conversation, connection and relationship-building—all inside the businesses that make our remodeling industry thrive.

Each month, a NARI Milwaukee member opens their doors and invites fellow members, prospective members and industry partners into their space. It’s an opportunity to meet new people, reconnect with familiar faces, discover what another member does and build relationships that extend well beyond one evening.

Great people. New spaces. Stronger connections. That’s After 5.

Put Your Business in the Spotlight

Host an After 5

There’s attending an After 5—and then there’s hosting one.

Hosting puts your company at the center of the NARI Milwaukee community for the evening. Instead of simply telling fellow members what you do, you get to show them.

Open your showroom or warehouse, introduce your team, demonstrate products, offer tours and create an experience that helps members better understand your business and how they can work with you.

Your $1,500 Hosting Investment Includes

NARI Milwaukee helps build awareness and drive attendance by promoting your After 5 directly to our membership.

Your hosting opportunity includes promotion through:

Three dedicated After 5 promotional emails to membership
Promotion at NARI Milwaukee meetings and events
Event registration and attendee management
