It’s official, all 15,000 media bags have been bagged! The bags contain our Official Visitors Guide and Map, pen and hand sanitizer from Potawatomi Casino Hotel and Harley-Davidson Motor Company T-shirts. We hope the media love them and we can’t wait to welcome them to Milwaukee and show off the city! Big shoutout to the Wisconsin Center District for rallying team members to help us out. #Milwaukee #RNC #mediabags #RNC2024 #VisitMKE

“This opportunity truly is changing our organization and our path forward,” states Kelly Backes, board president of the Autism Society of Southeastern Wisconsin. The Autism Society SE WI were the recipients of the first-ever Baird Center Gala Giveaway. On June 15, 2024, ASSEW hosted the Reimagine Gala in the Baird Ballroom. Along with some help from Levy Restaurants, our food and beverage partner, and CTI, our A/V team, the team at ASSEW got to work planning their biggest gala yet.  Previously, ASSEW’s gala drew in about 220 people. As part of their winnings, ASSEW was able to welcome 460 guests free of charge at their gala this year, allowing for more people to attend.  Hosting ASSEW was a great opportunity to demonstrate our commitment to ensuring our guests feel welcome and safe. In addition to the two permanent sensory rooms located in the north building, the gala featured a larger, custom sensory room designed specifically to meet the ASSEW’s gala needs.

Happy Fourth of July! ❤️🤍💙

"The inspiration is Lake Michigan, the play of light on water and that wonderful kind of transient, ephemeral effect." - Ben Butler Upstairs on the fourth floor of Baird Center, just outside of Baird Ballroom, is Great Water. The individually carved wood pieces are configured into a jigsaw-like puzzle of panels. The panels are all made of five layers, each a different species of tree with different tones and textures, in order to create the illusion of movement and depth. Great Water is part of the We Energies Foundation Art Collection located at Baird Center. The collection has been carefully curated to portray the characteristics, culture, people and landscapes of Milwaukee and the surrounding region.

Hosting an event for 1,100 guests is no small feat, especially when it comes to delivering an exceptional table-service dinner, multiple gourmet appetizers, craft cocktails and custom dessert stations. But at the Grand Opening Gala, Levy Restaurants, our in-house food and beverage partner, rose to the occasion, showcasing their bold, proud and experience obsessed culinary services. We were honored to have chefs from Levy’s corporate team fly in from six states to participate and assist in making the dining experience unforgettable thanks to the custom-designed menu designed by Chef Frank Abbinanti CEC. We are grateful to the entire Levy team for their commitment to ensuring the food and beverage experience at Baird Center is second to none and for making the Baird Center Grand Opening Gala a celebration for the ages.  #BairdCenterGala #Milwaukee #EventSpace
