Dr. WRIPAC 

Dr. WRIPAC is a professional networking event that gives our members and guests an opportunity to socialize and get to know one another outside of the meeting. 

For Dr. WRIPAC in Los Angeles, we will start the evening with a self-guided tour Grammy Museum. The GRAMMY Museum features four floors of exhibits exploring the creative process, the art and technology of the recording process, and the enduring legacy of all forms of recorded music. One-of-a-kind artifacts, films, and interactive experiences join together with exciting design, compelling interpretation, and plenty of music to create an amazing and immersive Museum experience. Some of the exhibits that will be open during Dr. WRIPAC include Legends of Mowtown: Celebrating the Supremes, George Carlin: A Place for My Stuff, Respect! Otis Redding and the Revolution of Soul, Ki Ho' Alu: Honoring the Hawaiian Slack Key Guitar Tradition, Michael Jackson, and the Grammy Music Archives.
