The La Crosse Center is located in the heart of downtown La Crosse, nested on the banks of the Mississippi River. Conference attendees will be steps away from shops, dining, riverboat tours, and other recreational opportunities.
La Crosse rests at the confluence of the Mississippi River, the Black River, and the La Crosse River, in the heart of what is known as the “Driftless Region” — an area of Western Wisconsin and Southeastern Minnesota that was spared the flattening effects of the Ice Age glaciers that covered two-thirds of North America. With its steep, hardwood-studded hills and deep valleys intact, the region’s rugged beauty is unequaled anywhere in the Midwest.
