Destination Madison

Why Choose Madison?

Our capital city sits upon an isthmus between lakes Monona and Mendota, which means our vibrant downtown is surrounded by stunning scenery. It’s a place where visitors get all the beauty plus the perks of a city. From meeting planners to the media, we’ve been topping rankings and growing our reputation as a place where you can count on a successful meeting and happy attendees. #4 Greenest Cities in the US (2020): The Monona Terrace Community & Convention Center is Platinum LEED-Certified, and we have 100+ LEED Certified buildings all around town. (Not to mention the care we take for our 5 lakes, 200+ miles of biking and hiking trails, and 270 parks.) Here, sustainability isn’t a trend—it’s a tradition. 2 James Beard Best Chef winners (2023) + 27 semifinalists in the last 10 years: We’re proud of our agricultural heritage, which pairs perfectly with the long list of award-winning chefs and mixologists in Madison’s dining and drinking scene. Most menus feature local growers, and our range of restaurants make it easy to find options from global fare to gluten-free or plant-forward, cocktails, mocktails and more. #3 Happiest City in America (2023): This one is not surprising, given the lake-city-lake landscape that creates a perfect setting for year-round outdoor activities from hiking, biking, paddle-boarding and kayaking in summer to cross-country skiing, snow sailing and ice fishing in winter. Madison features more than 12,000 rooms and 400,000 sq. ft. of meeting space available to accommodate a wide variety of events. Madison has hosted environmental, educational, engineering, agri-business, sporting, biotechnology and medical groups including World Dairy Expo, IRONMAN Wisconsin and the CrossFit Games. Walkable. Sustainable. Memorable Madison. Plan now to host your next event here!
