Pyle Center
The Pyle Center is located on the UW-Madison campus on the shore of Lake Mendota within easy walking distance from the center of Madison. The Pyle Center features the Alumni Lounge conference room overlooking the water with a capacity of 280 people that is ideally suited for the single-session style of the meeting. Lunches and coffee breaks at the meeting center, an onsite banquet, and cocktail hour during poster session will offer a collegial and collaborative atmosphere throughout the meeting. Additionally, there are many nearby restaurants, cafes, and museums (including the UW’s Memorial Union Terrace pictured below) for the participants and guests of the Workshop to enjoy.
A Commitment to Sustainability
UW Conferences & Events, as well as the Wisconsin Union, strive to promote green conferences and events and ask our conference guests to help us in those efforts.
We have replaced plastic usage with compostable fiber plastic made from renewable sources for all our food service needs.
Our Efforts for More Sustainable Conferences:
- 100% post-consumer content nametags
- Biodegradable nametag holders & recycling bin at conference headquarters
- Recycling bins located at all meals and on every floor of meeting site
- Online mailings, communication, and promotion of conference events
- Surplus food donated to local food bank
- Airport shuttles to minimize car and taxi trips
- Reusable conference signage to direct conference participants
- Online registration & electronic registration information communication
- We are very proud of our changes and will continue to make future decisions based on alternative sources and environmental stewardship!
