Back to School Means Back to Planning Wisconsin

After a long lazy summer, there’s something invigorating about autumn — cooler temps, cozy sweaters and the satisfaction of getting back to business. It’s also the perfect time to learn new ways to earn an A+ in fall event planning.

The ABCs of CVBs
For a quick education in comprehensive planning, check out Wisconsin’s many Convention and Visitors Bureaus (CVBs). They offer an amazing array of options to accommodate your guests’ agendas.  The best part? CVBs are a one-stop, expert resource on everything local, from the finest venues, to the hottest attractions, to money-saving deals on events, lodging, and meeting spaces.

When striving for that perfect balance between work and play, ask the experts at Wisconsin Dells VCB. With the area’s abundant water parks, resorts, and state parks, your guests may choose to stay long after your event ends.

Visit Eau Claire gets high marks for their knowledge of one of eastern Wisconsin’s most picturesque regions. Ask them about quaint inns, elegant hotels, and after-work activities.

Discover everything about the best places to pick apples, sample cheeses and enjoy ales in the lush green spaces of central Wisconsin from the Steven’s Point Area CVB.

Finally, if you yearn to learn more about museums, art galleries and performing art centers close to conference/convention facilities, confer with the Oshkosh Convention + Visitors Bureau or the Manitowoc Area VCB.

The Three R’s of Accommodations & Attractions—Rest, relaxation and ROI
Perfect accommodations and attractions are an ideal blend of comfort and amenities that justify time and expense. For places that answer all your needs, look to some of the finest hotels, resorts and unique attractions Wisconsin has to offer.

Looking for class? The beautifully restored Ambassador Hotel, recently renovated Intercontinental Milwaukee, and the ultra-chic Milwaukee Marriott West offer guests plush comfort with convenient proximity to all the city’s major attractions.

Don’t know much about history? The EAA Aviation Center or the Milwaukee County War Memorial can make your event uplifting, interesting and inspiring.

Interested in the great outdoors? Team building and group meetings flourish at Minnesuing Acres, The Florian Gardens, or Badger Farms. Get back to nature in these rambling locations with gorgeous gardens and custom banquet facilities.

Require rustic? Country surroundings, fishing, and boating make the perfect setting for a business retreat at the Woodside Ranch Resort + Conference Center or the Wild Eagle Lodge.

Need to ace geography? When location is critical, take advantage of spacious facilities, catering services and luxury accommodations in either Madison or Milwaukee at the Holiday Inn Hotel + Suites Madison West or the Hilton Milwaukee.

The art of planning? From the charming Riverwalk-adjacent Intercontinental Milwaukee to the sophistication of The Pfister Hotel to Lake Geneva’s Grand Geneva Resort + Spa, European-style elegance turns your conference or meeting into a stylish event.

Remember, fall planning begins now. Explore all the possibilities when you look to Wisconsin’s CVBs, or make the grade with any of Wisconsin’s magnificent hotels, resorts and attractions.
