What is Milwaukee? It’s the spirit of innovation and exploration that surges through a city where different cultures, ideas and perspectives continually converge. Sitting on the confluence of three rivers and A Great Lake, Milwaukee's water is a source of inspiration, a place to gather and celebrate, and a thread that weaves through our diverse and vibrant communities, stitching us all together. We collaborate—fearlessly, unfussily, with open arms. We innovate—boldly and creatively, but with reverence for the legacy of those who came before us. And we celebrate Milwaukee in all its forms.

Connect Marketplace officially begins tomorrow! Check out our new two-leveled tradeshow booth that will be making its debut tomorrow on the tradeshow floor. We can't wait to welcome 1,000 meeting planners and 2,000 exhibitors to Baird Center. This event represents some of the best exposure Baird Center will have to planners, whose business includes planning events for association groups, religious groups, sports events, and more. It could not be better timed given the high interest in the Baird Center expansion, and we're so grateful to every partner who has helped us over the last three years as we’ve prepared for this show. #ConnectMarketplace24 #ConnectMeetings #Milwaukee #ConnectMP

In preparation for Connect Marketplace coming to Milwaukee next week with 3,000 attendees to Baird Center, we had to ship back some of our items from a previous trade show back home. To make that process more interesting, our team at Madden Media helped us wrap, pack and secure a shipping container that passed through Las Vegas, Grand Junction, Denver, Omaha and Des Moines, which doubled as a moving billboard! We're so excited for #ConnectMarketplace24 and we can't wait to see you all here in Milwaukee.
