Did you see the Destination Spotlight on Madison in the May/June issue of PCMA Convene? This don't-miss feature highlights fun facts about our intellectual capital: the research culture on the University of Wisconsin-Madison campus. Madison's many start-up and tech successes. And some pretty unique venues, too. But we especially loved the shout-out to the people who make Madison a top-tier city for memorable meetings:

“The top three words I’d use to describe Madison? Welcoming, friendly, accommodating. Though my event was in June 2023, we began planning during COVID. Destination Madison’s assistance with the grant and event branding was invaluable. And the service at Monona Terrace? Exceptional. Every single employee I spoke with was helpful.”
