Connect with industry leaders, development experts, and fellow stakeholders to uncover emerging business and investment opportunities, get ahead of infrastructure and housing challenges, shape solutions that ensure sustainable growth and build valuable partnerships across the corridor.

The MadWaukee 2050 event will feature a keynote conversation with Metropolitan Milwaukee Association of Commerce president Dale Kooyenga and Madison Region Economic Partnership interim president and CEO Everett Butzine.
