Yesterday was the biggest event I’ve ever managed. It included a live in-person event, 12 virtual watch parties and me as the host and planner. The in-person event was the easy part, but throw in a last-minute budget restriction, the ever-changing technology and my tendency to be an overachiever … and you have the perfect combination of factors to create a stressful experience.

MEET Chicago Northwest
Meet in Milwaukee
VISIT Milwaukee
With a 300,000 square-foot convention center, 17,000 hotel rooms, and 10 miles of lakefront (not to mention the home base of Harley-Davidson, sausage races, a flying art museum, mountainous bloody marys, and everything from 5-star dining to scrumptious cheese curds), Milwaukee should be on your shortlist for your next meeting. Oh, and beer. We have beer too.
It's totally random, totally wonderful, and totally Milwaukee.
