Madison Information

The City and Meeting Site
You will find the best of all worlds in Wisconsin's vibrant capital city and picturesque surrounding towns: natural beauty and outdoor recreation, stimulating cultural offerings, distinctive restaurants and shops, and an irreverent spirit of fun.

Built on an isthmus between lakes Monona and Mendota, Madison is renowned for its beautiful scenery. A total of five area lakes and over 200 parks provide an abundance of year-round outdoor activities, from hiking, biking, swimming and sailing along with cross-country skiing, snow sailing, and ice fishing.

The Memorial Union is commonly referred to as the “heart and soul of the University.”  The Italian-Renaissance style building is located on the shore of Lake Mendota in the heart of the University of Wisconsin-Madison campus. It is a focus of student activities and is close to shops, museums, libraries, and many local eateries.
