Frequently asked questions

What should I look for when comparing conference hotels in Milwaukee?
Start with the size of the largest event space and how many people it can hold. For example, Potawatomi Hotel & Casino offers a largest event space of about 32,000 square feet that can accommodate up to 2,500 people, while Hyatt Regency Milwaukee's Regency Ballroom runs about 9,900 square feet with capacity for up to 1,064 people. Also consider the number of event spaces available (useful if you need breakout rooms) and the guest-room count so attendees can stay on-site.
What amenities can conference attendees expect at these hotels?
Most properties offer parking, wifi, and on-site dining, though specifics vary by hotel. Business centers, fitness facilities, and in-room workspaces are common. Amenities like AV equipment, catering options, and breakfast depend on the property, so confirm what's included when you book.
How does Engine help with both the guest rooms and the meeting space for a corporate event?
For guest rooms, you can search and book hotels on Engine; if you need 9 or more rooms, Engine Groups handles the room block, and for 8 or fewer you book self-serve. For the meeting or event space itself, planners can find and request venues through Engine Spaces, Engine's meeting-and-event venue product that connects you to a wide selection of spaces.
Is it easy to fly into Milwaukee for a conference, and are there hotels near the airport?
Milwaukee is served by General Mitchell International Airport. Crowne Plaza Milwaukee Airport is located near the airport and offers a largest event space of about 11,000 square feet (the Concorde Ballroom) with capacity for up to 1,000 people and 195 guest rooms. Downtown properties like Hyatt Regency Milwaukee are a short drive from the airport and put attendees close to the city center.
How do I book a block of rooms for conference attendees?
If you need 9 or more guest rooms, Engine Groups handles the room-block booking for you. For 8 rooms or fewer, you can book self-serve on Engine. Both options give you access to pre-negotiated rates, consolidated invoicing, and multiple payment options with no membership fee.
