From the NACE Milwaukee Chapter

Dear NACE Members and Friends,

On behalf of the NACE Milwaukee Board, I'm thrilled to invite you and your chapter members to join us in our city this July for NACE Experience 2025!

We've been planning, dreaming, and curating an unforgettable Experience for you, because when NACE comes to Milwaukee, we roll out the (cheese curd) red carpet. 🧀

What makes Milwaukee the ultimate host city?

✨ Easy-to-navigate airport and travel-friendly vibes

✨ Beautiful summer weather with that perfect lake breeze

✨ A thriving food & beverage scene

✨ Stunning lakefront views, vibrant culture, and endless photo ops

✨ Oh—and did we mention we're on the water?

And that's just the beginning. Get ready for exclusive activations and events on Saturday, July 26th, and Monday, July 28th, from the people who know this city best, your Milwaukee Board.

These are more than events, they're experiences you won't find anywhere else. Your Milwaukee Board is here to make sure your conference and your trip are unforgettable. You might just fall in love with our city and never want to leave.

Want to learn more about Milwaukee events and local recs? Visit the Explore Milwaukee Page on the Experience Conference site. 

If you have any other questions, reach out anytime! We're here to welcome you with cheese curds and a warm Midwest smile.

See you in July!

Warmly,

Mikayla Dhein, CPCE, CWP
