I cannot think of a better way to continue welcoming sporting events back into our lives and in person than with the announcement of the world’s leading sports event industry conference coming to Milwaukee.” TEAMS attracts conference attendees from sports organizations, sports commissions, convention and visitors bureaus, and several other hospitality businesses around the globe. Founded in 1998, TEAMS provides educational programming, one-on-one meetings, an appointment-based tradeshow, seminars, and networking at its annual conferences. This year's TEAMS conference is being held in Atlantic City.

The agreement grants U.S. Olympic and Paralympic representatives access to conference and expo attendees interested in hosting sporting events. The Wisconsin Center will be the headquarters for the 2027 TEAMS Conference & Expo. The $420 million expansion of the Wisconsin Center, which will increase its size to 445,000 square feet, is expected to be complete in 2024.
