2017 Annual Conference

Parking/Shuttle

Before attending the 2017 WSCA Conference, please become familiar with the parking locations near the Monona Terrace in downtown Madison. While there are several parking areas, some are city-operated while others are privately-operated. If you plan on staying at the Hilton Madison Monona Terrace connected to the Monona Terrace, parking is available but you will incur a daily parking charge. Below you will find a map of the city-operated parking ramps near the conference site.

Parking costs fluctuate, therefore a direct link has been provided so that you may obtain the most up-to-date information.
