The building
It sits in Milwaukee, right in the centre of Milwaukee.
BMO Harris Pavilion was opened in 2012 and owned by Milwaukee World Festival, which puts it at 14 years old.
A stated 10,000 puts this in arena territory: general sessions and keynotes fit, breakouts need somewhere else.

Access and arrival
Allow half an hour each way to Milwaukee Mitchell International Airport (MKE), 9 km (5.6 mi) away, and rather more if your first session starts during the morning peak.
Being 1.4 km (0.9 mi) from the middle of Milwaukee means attendees can walk from their hotel, which removes the single most complained-about line in most event budgets.
The published number for the venue is +1 414 273 2680.
Milwaukee has 124 venues mapped in total and a population of 563,531. The Milwaukee guide covers the airport, the local time zone and what else is bookable nearby.
The kind of event it takes
Programme this as a theatre, because that is what it is. One track, one stage, an audience facing the same way and 10,000 of them. Catering and breakouts need a second space nearby.
- award ceremonies
Fixed seating, sightlines and a lighting rig are the hard parts, and they are already here.
- product launches
A single-track room with a real stage is the right shape for a launch.
- multi-track conferences
Works as a plenary house with breakouts booked elsewhere in the city.
