Join Destination Madison for a “Summer in Madison” celebration on August 22 at the Pyle Center, beautifully situated on the shores of Lake Mendota and steps from the iconic Memorial Union Terrace. This lakeside gathering highlights the vibrant spirit of a Madison summer, with scenic views and fresh energy in the heart of campus. Catch the shuttle or take a stroll down lively State Street (approximately a 23‑minute walk from the convention center), a pedestrian‑only street lined with a variety of shops, restaurants, and museums that connects the Wisconsin State Capitol to the University of Wisconsin–Madison.
We’re glad to share this midday pause with you—full of good food, great company, and even better conversation. This lunch is sponsored by our friends at the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF), whose commitment to industry leadership and responsible practices continues to make a lasting impact.
