Meet in 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.
