Back to Work. Let the Wisconsin Busy-ness Begin

Autumn is the time to get back to work. Business picks up, your calendar is full, and you’re busier than you’ve been in months.

At meetingpages.com, we know you’ve got a lot of planning to do. That’s why this month we’re spotlighting the best suppliers for your business and corporate meetings + events. We know the top hotels, venues, and meeting facilities to give your guests the business connections and opportunities they need to get their jobs done!

After all, it’s what we do best — make the business of planning easier for you.

Hotels + Resorts — Welcome to the Big City

Where your guests stay has a huge impact on their productivity, so hotels located in the city are always a good choice. With more than 20,000 square feet of meeting space and connected by skywalk to the Midwest Airlines Center, the Hilton Milwaukee offers professionals the space they need to get the job done. The InterContinental Milwaukee places you at the heart of downtown, just minutes from the Convention Center, while the classic Pfister Hotel combines old-world elegance with 25,000 square feet of newly renovated meeting space.

Headed to Madison? The Madison Concourse Hotel + Governor’s Club in the heart of Wisconsin’s capital city is the largest convention hotel in Madison and is renowned as a place where business gets done. Or check your group in at the Holiday Inn + Suites Madison West, with its state-of-the-art AV equipment and comfortable, spacious meeting accommodations.

Outside the City Limits

Think your attendees would enjoy a little peace and quiet away from the big city? Then head to Grand Geneva Resort + Spa or The Ridge Hotel. Just an hour outside Milwaukee, you’ll find all the business amenities of metropolitan hotels (thousands of feet of meeting space, banquet facilities, catering and yes, even wi-fi) nestled in lovely rustic settings with plenty of sightseeing and activities on sight and nearby. In southeast Wisconsin, the classic Delafield Hotel can host your event with old-world sophistication and elegant, modern amenities. Or head to scenic Minnesuing Acres or Heartwood Conference Center + Retreat. Both locations offer luxurious accommodations, an abundance of meeting and banquet facilities, plus business centers, award-winning food and breathtaking scenery.

Meeting + Event Venues — Big and Small

From large groups to small, conveniently located event venues make it easy for your guests to stay at the top of their game while having quick access to nearby businesses and local attractions. Just minutes from downtown Madison, the contemporary Alliant Energy Center offers multiple venues with space for conventions, conferences, trade shows and more. For a bolder, customizable venue, kick start your event at the Harley-Davidson Museum or plan for something more cultured at the Milwaukee Public Museum. For that patriotic feel, look into the Milwaukee County War Memorial Center, with panoramic views of stunning Lake Michigan. Excitement abounds just minutes from downtown Milwaukee at the Potawatomi Hotel + Casino where up to 700 guests can meet, eat, and greet business associates at an intimate sit-down dinner or a memorable banquet.

In the Country

Business surroundings don’t have to be bland. So if meeting at Wisconsin’s largest meeting and conference facility seems appealing, plan your event at the new Central Wisconsin Convention + Expo Center featuring more than 60,000 square feet of event space. The newly renovated Badger Farms might be just the thing for a corporate retreat situated in a breathtaking countryside setting. Or play your cards right, and book your event at the North Star Mohican Casino, the Menominee Casino Resort or the Potawatomi Carter Casino Hotel. With their expansive, newly renovated spaces set in gorgeous countryside surroundings, there’s no telling what kind of deals could get done.

Event Services — It’s All in the Details

Now that you’ve got the perfect space, it’s time to dress up the place. Event Essentials offers lighting, linens, tents, tables, chairs, AV equipment, or almost anything you can think of to make your business event a success.

If it’s a catered affair, look no further than Bartlotta Catering + Events. With over a decade of catering experience, they specialize in palate-pleasing menus and flawless execution for just about any corporate event. Or connect with the Foodfight Restaurant Group with cuisine options from eleven distinctive restaurants and multiple venues for private rooms or buyouts. 

And there you have it—you’ve planned your event down to the very last detail. And just in time too. After all, winter events are just a few short months away!
