Milwaukee did a fabulous job hosting Connect Marketplace last month! The premier conference brought 1,000 meeting planners, sports rights holders and group tour operators to network with and learn about destinations and meeting venues. Travel Wisconsin and partners around the state wooed them on why we are the best destination to host a meeting of any size. There's hardly a better place to do that than the beautifully renovated and expanded Baird Center! Travel Wisconsin gave attendees a taste of the state with an old fashioned and cheese activation, while our destination, hotel and attraction partners held one-on-one meetings with planners. These conversations open doors and generate crucial leads. Congratulations to all the folks who worked hard to secure this important conference. From the rocking opening reception hosted at the Harley-Davidson Museum to when the lights went out the last night, Wisconsin convinced this crucial sector of the tourism industry we know how to host a meeting.

We can still smell the glorious rubber from INDYCAR at the Milwaukee Mile! The iconic racetrack held a double-header of racing over Labor Day weekend, welcoming IndyCar back for the first time since 2015. Early estimates show the crowd size one-third larger than projected. Travel Wisconsin maximized this big opportunity by placing a trackside billboard, inviting content creators to experience the race and all sorts of Wisconsin activities to share with their followers, and reaching at-home viewers with a TV ad spot. Start counting the days to Aug. 24, 2025, when the racing series returns to the Milwaukee Mile! #TravelWI #Racing #IndyCar

Attention all big thinkers and dreamers — the Opportunity Attraction Fund is now open for applications! The new program, administered by the Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation provides grants for organizations and destinations to bring major opportunities to Wisconsin. Grants help to bid for and to host opportunities and events that drive economic impact, increase tourism and raise Wisconsin's national profile. Nationally broadcast sporting competitions are a great example of a potentially eligible opportunity. But as a new program, the horizon is open, so we encourage you to dream big. The program is funded by one-time dollars and it's no guarantee additional funds will be added to the program, so act soon and apply for a grant! https://lnkd.in/drKKzsGV #Grant #Opportunity #DreamBig #TravelWI #WEDC

Our team mourns the loss of Tom Diehl, a pioneer of Wisconsin tourism who played a big part in why the Wisconsin Dells are what they are today. Tom also quietly shaped tourism policy behind the scenes to uplift all of Wisconsin. He truly was a giant of Wisconsin Tourism, whose impact we benefit from every single day. He was a fierce fighter for our annual budget and understood the power of marketing as an economic driver better than anyone. #TravelWisconsin Wisconsin Dells Visitor & Convention Bureau #WisDells

Here's to celebrating exemplary careers in state government as Shelly Harkins and Dawn Zanoni retire from the Department of Tourism this month! 🎉 Shelly retires after 32 years of public service across five state agencies, and Dawn after 30 years with the Department. Both have made countless contributions to the Wisconsin tourism industry and we're grateful for their decades of public service. The Department wishes them all the joyful moments, memories with family and friends, and, of course, plenty of time to travel that comes with retirement. Even though they said they didn't want a party, we definitely enjoyed some cake while sharing highlights through the years. Best wishes and happy retirement, Shelly and Dawn! #Retirement #PublicService #TourismIndustry #NewBeginnings #TravelWI
