Mayor Bauman noted that most sessions of the meeting will be held in Monona Terrace—designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, a native son , representing his vision of a "dream civic center." but built only a few years ago. Home to the world-class University of Wisconsin-Madison, the city boasts a burgeoning arts district, more than 200 parks, and an ever-expanding range of recreational opportunities. Events already planned for the meeting include:

  • A reception at the city-owned Olbrich Botanical Gardens along the Lake Monona shore. The site's 14 acres of specialty gardens and indoor conservatory makes Olbrich a popular yearround destination.

  • the Wisconsin State Capitol

  • scenic Warner Park, in one of Madison's finest and most spacious parks.

  • UW Memorial Union Terrace, featuring a lovely view of Lake Mendota at one of Madison's most popular hangouts and

  • the Kohl Center, also on the UW campus where the exciting basketball team plays, and where activities for USCM will include a 2000-square-foot sculpted putting course, a 26-foot climbing wall, and a variety of virtual games.
