Milwaukee is a world-class city, and we are eager to see it shine in the spotlight come 2024.
“This gives us the opportunity to do what we weren’t when the 2020 DNC was cut short,” VISIT Milwaukee CEO Peggy Williams-Smith told WTMJ from Chicago. “We can show what a wonderful city Milwaukee is and we get to show it to the world.”
