Location
Connect is being held at the beautiful Monona Terrace in Madison, WI. It is conveniently
located off of the Beltline highway in downtown Madison.
On July 18, 1997, Monona Terrace Community and Convention Center opened its doors
after nearly 60 years of debate. It was first designed by Wisconsin native and internationally
renowned architect Frank Lloyd Wright in 1938 as a cultural, governmental and recreational
building. Wright reworked the design several times between 1938 and 1958 before
signing off on the final plans seven weeks before his death in 1959. In 1992, Madison
voters approved referenda to construct Monona Terrace—on the same site Wright had
originally proposed—as a community and convention center. While Wright's design
was used for the building's exterior, the interior was redesigned by Wright apprentice
and Taliesin architect Tony Puttnam to house state-of-the-art exhibition, meeting
and public space.
