Wednesday, Nov 4, 2026 | 6:00–7:00 PM ET | Virtual (Zoom) | Free

Join WIFVNE member, actor, voice-over artist, and productivity coach Corrie Legge for our monthly Networking Wednesday! Whether you're just starting out or deep into your next project, this is a chance to meet fellow creatives working in film, video, acting, and commercial media across New England.

This Networking Wednesday will focus on preparing for the annual meeting - how to present yourself, how to find the people you're looking to connect with, etc. Come share what you're working on — or working toward — in a welcoming, no-pressure space. Make an ask. Offer support. Be part of the conversation.

Free and open to all, with an optional $5 "Pay it Forward" donation to help support WIFVNE programming.
