Business Day in Madison 2026

It is held at Monona Terrace Community & Convention Center, 1 John Nolen Dr, Madison, WI 53703.

Individual registration is $200 during early bird through October 1, and $225 during regular registration from October 2–20.

The organizer describes the audience as Wisconsin business leaders from across the state.

It is most useful for Wisconsin executives who want to hear state business issues discussed alongside speakers such as Reince Priebus, Steve Israel and Kevin Conroy, and to meet peers at the welcome reception held the evening before. Those wanting technical or industry-specific training will get less from it, and out-of-state attendees have little reason to travel, since it is a one-day statewide forum run by WMC at a modest registration fee.

Attendees at state chamber and business leader events usually wear business professional attire, with suits or blazers and ties common for men and suits, dresses or pantsuits for women. A late-October Madison setting suggests a topcoat for the walk between the reception and the convention center.
