Preconference Reception—Let’s Get Started
Thursday, June 1, 6:30 p.m.–8:30 p.m.
Take the opportunity to get in the swing of things and attend the preconference reception in the gallery of the Milwaukee Institute of Art and Design, one of the country's leading visual arts colleges. Sip some wine, nosh on appetizers, then explore Milwaukee’s Historic Third Ward. The appearance of this turn-of-the-century warehouse and manufacturing district may fool you at first, but you will find that behind the historic facades lie Milwaukee's best-kept secrets.

Here you will find the highest concentration of art galleries in the city, antique shops, restaurants and night spots, unique specialty stores, architects, advertising agencies, graphic designers, and artists. Home of Milwaukee’s Public Market, the William F. Eisnar Museum of Advertising and Design, and the Broadway Theater complex.
