The Wisconsin Chapter prides itself on hosting two outstanding conferences each year, as well as an excellent summer outing and occasional specialty workshops. Each spring and fall conference is held in a different location each year and is organized by a local host or host committee and a program committee. The host committee is primarily responsible for the venues used for the conference, local arrangements, registration management, entertainment and advertising. The Program Committee has primary responsibility for the content of the conference, including general sessions, technical sessions and Chapter business meetings.

Guidance has been developed from the experience of past conference hosts to facilitate future conference planning and administration. A guidance document has been prepared by a committee of past conference hosts and Chapter presidents, led by Paul Woodard for conference host committees. The document is intended to be managed over time as a living document so it can continue to provide effective guidance into the future.
