About Us

Message from President/CEO

Welcome to Milwaukee, a jewel of the Great Lakes. You'll enjoy discovering the superb outdoor recreational opportunities afforded by our beautiful waterfront location, the breadth of arts and cultural offerings rivaling those of cities twice our size, and the rich mosaic of cultures and ethnicities that built our city and retain a strong presence today.

You'll find historic neighborhoods that reflect our cherished heritage and a famous lineup of "only in Milwaukee" festivals that recognize and celebrate our diversity. Our wide range of professional and college sports give fans of all ages a reason to cheer.

In recent years Milwaukee has invested more than $2 billion into its tourism and convention product, with more to come. Attractions in development include the world's only Harley-Davidson Museum, expected to open in summer 2008.

Perhaps above all else, Milwaukee's easy attitude and warm hospitality are what sets it apart from other destinations. We enjoy taking extraordinary care of our guests, and you'll find Milwaukee's relaxing, welcoming atmosphere a refreshing change of pace.

I invite you to experience our city - I guarantee we'll exceed your expectations!

Warmly,




Doug Neilson
President/CEO
