New Meetings & Conventions video is totally random, totally wonderful, and totally Milwaukee

MILWAUKEE – (Feb. 6, 2019) The question on every planner’s mind is always, “Where’s our next meeting?”VISIT Milwaukee answers that question brilliantly in its newly released video for meetings and conventions professionals. In less than two minutes, viewers learn why Milwaukee is the ultimate meetings destination.

“Milwaukee has an excellent convention package, but this video shows what you can expect in addition to the convention center like our amazing hotels, unique entertainment options, and excellent dining,” said Marco Bloemendaal, senior vice president of sales for VISIT Milwaukee. “Our new video pulls viewers through the screen into our city, giving them a true picture of every wonderfully random aspect of Milwaukee that cannot be experienced anywhere else.”

The city comes alive when sessions end and attendees venture out to see all things uniquely Milwaukee, which are displayed in VISIT Milwaukee’s video. This is the city built on beer and brewing that is also an Old-Fashioneds oasis and Bloody Mary metropolis. It is America’s Third Coast with the flying Milwaukee Art Museum on Lake Michigan and the home base of Harley-Davidson. Milwaukee is the community of culinary convergences from traditional fare like cheese curds and bratwurst to cuisine created by James Beard-recognized chefs. The city is the site of the tavern that pedals on the pavement and paddles on the water. All of it is totally random, totally wonderful, and totally Milwaukee. 

“Milwaukee has so many experiences to share with its visitors, and we want convention attendees to see themselves having all those experiences,” Bloemendaal said. “When you watch this, we want you to picture yourselves sampling local beers while enjoying a fish fry at Lakefront Brewery, cycling through the city, winning big at a lively bingo game, cheering on the racing sausages at Miller Park, and kayaking on the Milwaukee River.”

Many meeting planners nationwide are receiving a special Milwaukee box that includes this video and a sampling of wonderfully random items from the city – such as beer soap, The Milwaukee Chocolate Bar, and a mini cheesehead.
