2026 Spring Conference & Tradeshow

Description

The Tavern League of Wisconsin Spring Conference is a 4 day event that includes industry specific information for license holders, owners and employees of on premise establishments across Wisconsin. Vendors and Service Providers are on-site with a two-day Tradeshow to showcase their products and build relationships with face-to-face interaction. Samples, sign ups and discounts are encouraged. See what's new on the market and find items you didn't even know you were looking for. Educational programming is available all four days. We play as hard as we work, so come an enjoy the Monday night Welcome Reception, the Tuesday Night Party and Live Auction, and the President's Reception on Wednesday. Plenty of opportunities to network with other Tavern League members and share experiences, referrals and stories.
