Join us for an unforgettable evening at our upcoming Chamber Mixer, hosted at the SLO CTE Foundation Encore Center (1030 Railroad Street) on Wednesday, March 18, 2026, from 4:30–6:30 p.m.

This special mixer will transform the space into an interactive hospitality experience, featuring thoughtfully curated food and beverage pairings from some of our incredible local partners. Enjoy sips from Guyomar Winery and Hope Family Wines alongside bites from Vivant Fine Cheese and Paso Terra Bistrot. Sample craft brews from Cal Coast Beer Co. paired with artisan selections from Black Sheep Bar & Grill, and treat yourself to coffee from Amsterdam Coffee House with pastries by Angela's Pastries.

As you mix and mingle, enjoy live music from the Andrew Seedley Trio featuring talented students from Libretto Jazz Conservatory, creating the perfect backdrop for connection and conversation. Guests will also have the opportunity to explore visual displays showcasing impactful projects sponsored by the Foundation.

We’ll hear from inspiring speakers including CTE Foundation recipient James Brescia and Robert Covarrubias, who will share how career technical education is shaping futures right here in our community.

Come network, celebrate local partnerships, and experience firsthand the meaningful work happening through the SLO CTE Foundation. We look forward to seeing you there!
