About this venue

It sits in Milwaukee, right in the centre of Milwaukee.

The Grain Exchange was opened in 1983 and operated by The Bartolotta Restaurants, which puts it at 43 years old.

A stated 500 makes this a breakout or workshop room rather than a plenary space.

Travel to The Grain Exchange

10 km (6.2 mi) separates The Grain Exchange from Milwaukee Mitchell International Airport (MKE) — normal for a city venue, and worth a line in the joining instructions rather than a shuttle contract.

Being 0.2 km (0.1 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 +1 414 727 6980.

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.

What fits in this room

This is a room for a workshop, a chapter meeting, a training day or one track of a larger programme. Anything with an exhibition attached needs a second space.

  • networking mixers

    An independent space with its own character, which a mixer benefits from more than a conference does.

  • fundraisers and galas

    A room with a personality is worth more at a gala than square footage is.

  • community meetings

    Room for 500 covers most community and member meetings.
