Baird Center

Baird Center Welcome to a new era of innovation and unrivaled event experiences. Welcome to Baird Center. Owned and operated by the Wisconsin Center District.

The Wisconsin Center is one of the few convention centers we know of that people visit just to admire, but don't let that fool you; it's a hard-working facility in a hard-working city. The Wisconsin Center is designed for both sensory delight and astonishing efficiency, and operated with strict attention to customer service. It's home to the $1.2 million Burke Family Collection of commissioned and integrated art, and some of the most advanced and IT infrastructure anywhere. With equal ease, it handles the gritty realities of tradeshow setup and offers exquisite elegance for formal banquets.

What does it mean to leave your mark? 🎨

For local Milwaukee artist Cosmic Butterfly Design by Tia Richardson, it meant bringing our BPX culture to life through a vibrant mural and inviting our staff into the creative process every step of the way.

It’s a reminder that investing in your people means creating spaces that inspire, reflect and celebrate them.

This Milwaukee Downtown Downtown Employee Appreciation Week, we’re celebrating the people who make Baird Center what it is: Bold. Proud. Experience obsessed.
