Transportation
Guests arriving at Mitchell Field will be greeted in the main terminal area adjacent to the various concourses. You will be directed to the baggage claim areas to recover your luggage to meet our transportation volunteers stationed near baggage claim #3. From there you will be directed to the proper shuttles for your short ride to the conference hotels. If you have any questions or issues when you arrive, please contact our command post at 414-908-5100. Our command post is open until midnight throughout the conference. Have a safe and pleasant trip. We’ll see you in Milwaukee!
In addition Coach USA Airport Express links Midway and O'Hare airports in Chicago to Milwaukee. This may help delegates with better and cheaper connections, dependent on their location.
We also ask that anyone who is using the Coach USA Option would contact Lt. Jeffrey A. Schmidt by e-mail ([email protected]) with their arrival times in Milwaukee, as we will need to make arrangements to get them from their arrival location to the hotels.

Flying into Chicago? Why not take Amtrak into Milwaukee?
There is a Chicago Transit Authority (CTA) route that connects O'Hare Airport with the downtown Chicago area. This route takes people to within about 2 blocks of Union Station where Amtrak is located. Anyone flying into O'Hare would need to take the CTA and then walk the 2 blocks to Union Station or take a taxi from O'Hare to Union Station to use the Hiawatha service. The Hiawatha service has 7 round trips daily/ 6 on Sundays between Chicago and Milwaukee. The Hiawatha service terminates at the Milwaukee Intermodal Station in Milwaukee, which is just a few block from the Midwest Center and the hotels.
