Hotel and Travel
From its many ethnic neighborhoods to a vibrant downtown area, Milwaukee has earned its nickname as a Genuine American City and a reputation as a "Great Convention Town." Though it is one of the 20 largest cities in the country and headquarters to 18 Fortune 1,000 corporations, as well the home of the world's largest music festival, Milwaukee prides itself on its walkable, friendly downtown and neighborhoods.
Successfully blending its rich cultural heritage with today's modern spirit, this jewel of the Great Lakes comes alive with its numerous ethnic festivals, exciting attractions, eclectic restaurants and hip nightlife scene. We're certain that with its warm, Midwestern hospitality and dynamic energy, you'll give Milwaukee a two-thumbs-up-Arthur "Fonzie" Fonzarelli style!
Staying in Milwaukee
The convention hotels are attached via covered walkways to the Frotier Airlines Center (formerly Midwest Airlines Center), Milwaukee's convention center. The Center will host all of the convention sessions (unless otherwise noted) and the exhibit hall.
