Parking
Recommended parking: State St. Lot A
State St. Lot A is free for Data-Driven Wisconsin attendees until it fills. It is shared parking, but summer occupancy is light, so spots are easy to find. It is a one-block walk to Diercks Hall, past the construction site for MSOE's new engineering building.
Overflow: Water St. garage
The Water St. parking garage is on the far side of the Campus Center. It is paid parking and an easy walk to Diercks Hall.
Do not park here: The MSOE lot at the corner of Milwaukee St. and State St. is for Grohmann Museum visitors only.
Street parking: Nearby street parking is time-limited — 2 to 5 hours depending on the block, some metered, some free. Fine for a partial-day visit; risky for the full conference.
Hotels
There are several hotels in the downtown Milwaukee area convenient to the conference venue. We recommend booking early as August is a popular time in the city.
