  WRN Convention 2025: Pure WRN!

  
  

  Join us as we gather in the greater area of Detroit, Michigan, with our homebase at the Embassy Suites Detroit-Troy/Auburn Hills. As we look toward the future, we are excited to inspire you with the many places and people that make Detroit and its Jewish community unique. We are grateful to our Detroit-based colleagues who are supporting this vision.
