Baird Center

Baird Center Welcome to a new era of innovation and unrivaled event experiences. Welcome to Baird Center. Owned and operated by the Wisconsin Center District.

The Wisconsin Center is one of the few convention centers we know of that people visit just to admire, but don't let that fool you; it's a hard-working facility in a hard-working city. The Wisconsin Center is designed for both sensory delight and astonishing efficiency, and operated with strict attention to customer service. It's home to the $1.2 million Burke Family Collection of commissioned and

integrated art, and some of the most advanced and IT infrastructure anywhere. With equal ease, it handles the gritty realities of tradeshow setup and offers exquisite elegance for formal banquets.

We are thrilled to welcome .hq , 3-4,000 National Guard Association of the United States members for the 2025 NGAUS General Conference, taking place at Baird Center on August 22-25, with attendees staying at hotels throughout downtown.

We last welcomed them in 2011 and 1998, and after booking the business in 2022, we can’t wait for them to finally experience the newly expanded Baird Center. We expect this event to generate over $7 million in economic impact for the community.

Just a heads up if you were planning on coming to our neighborhood tonight...!

Due to the severe weather forecast for Milwaukee on July 16, tonight’s Milwaukee Night Market, presented by Clover, has been canceled. The safety of our vendors, performers, attendees and staff is our main priority, and unfortunately the severe weather forecast poses challenging conditions for an outdoor event. As a commitment to the vendors and partners that were originally scheduled to participate in the July 16 Market, Westown Association has reserved Wednesday, October 1 as a make-up date. Further details on the rescheduled date will be shared in the coming weeks. We appreciate your understanding and look forward to seeing you at the next Market on August 13!
