Just as we designed it
Through our collective work, including on the Annual Dinner stage, we have imagined what’s next. We have realized the infinite potential of all of us.
On Oct. 18 at Monona Terrace, we are welcoming Greg Hoffman, former chief of Global Brand Innovation for Nike, to help us take the next step by design. To build the Greater Madison we aspire to be.
We often think the design is the plan, but it is actually the purpose. It is our collective intent that drives action. At our sold-out 69th Annual Dinner, we will lean into design thinking and apply lessons learned from an iconic brand visionary to our companies, our teams and our work.

Going (back) to San Francisco
For the first time in three years, we returned this week to San Francisco for the culmination of our annual Pressure Chamber initiative. Between an in-person networking reception and meetings with coastal investors, the trip served as an opportunity to help emerging Greater Madison companies raise capital, build stronger connectivity to the Bay Area, and amplify our region's business brand and broader economic story.
Leading this year's delegation of up-and-coming companies was newly crowned Pressure Chamber champion Voximetry, a healthtech company with software designed to increase tumor response and overall survival in prostate cancer patients receiving Radiopharmaceutical Therapy. Voximetry’s Torch™ software is changing the Standard of Care by modeling patient-specific drug interactions and providing optimized treatment plans for each individual.
Also joining the Chamber’s delegation were representatives from the State of Wisconsin Investment Board, Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation, UW–Madison, Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation, HealthX Ventures and Michael Best & Friedrich.
Now in its ninth year, Pressure Chamber has been recognized as an economic development best practice by the International Economic Development Council and was featured in Steve Case’s new book released this week.
