A group of ten attendees at the Sip & Sustain 2025 event pose playfully in a modern office kitchen. Some wear green attire and shamrock scarves. They stand between white counters and wooden tables under circular pendant lights, celebrating the community gathering with joyful expressions.

We look forward to seeing you in Traverse City!
