4:00 PM - 7:00 PM
Madison Marriott West
In business and in football, consistency, durability, and resilience are the absolute foundations of long-term success.
Join the Middleton Chamber of Commerce as we welcome NFL Hall of Famer, entrepreneur, and Wisconsin Badgers legend, Joe Thomas. This isn't your typical keynote.
In an intimate, interview-style format moderated by the voice of the Badgers Matt Lepay, Joe will discuss the relentless dedication and toughness required to achieve the impossible: playing 10,363 consecutive snaps—the longest streak in NFL history. He was literally on the field for every single play for over ten years.
Joe will reveal how that same commitment to excellence and resilience has fueled his current success as a business owner in the cattle and beef industry. Learn what it takes to build something solid from the ground up, maintain peak performance, and lead a resilient organization—from the trenches of the NFL to the fields of Wisconsin.
This exclusive event is an unparalleled opportunity to connect with the local business community, enjoy a fantastic dinner, and gain wisdom from a Hall of Fame champion and successful entrepreneur. Don't miss your chance to secure VIP access for a private meet and greet and bid on signed memorabilia!
