Travel
Flight
Dane County Regional Airport (MSN)
MSN is our closest airport (about 13 minutes from the venue and downtown hotels)! Milwaukee (1.5 hours) and Chicago (2 hours) have more flights, and we would recommend a bus to get you the rest of the way to Madison if you flew into either of those airports. Hotels on the Eastside of town will be closest to the Madison airport.

This hotel is right next to the venue! The Moxy is where we will be staying and is our top recommendation. Click on the 'view' button to book a room in our block.

Our favorite sushi!
