Our Venue

Hilton Appleton Paper Valley
Located in the heart of downtown Appleton, the Hilton Appleton Paper Valley will serve as the home base for our 2026 Conference’s Keynotes and breakout seminars. Just steps from the Fox Cities Performing Arts Center, Lawrence University, and downtown’s lively dining and entertainment scene, the hotel offers both convenience and comfort for attendees. On-site amenities include several dining options—Vince Lombardi’s Steakhouse, Clubhouse Kitchen & Bar, and Blaze Bourbon and Whiskey Bar—along with an indoor pool, fitness center, and airport shuttle service, making it the perfect setting for learning, connection, and relaxation throughout the conference.

Fox Cities Exhibition Center (FCEC)
Connecting to the Hilton Appleton Paper Valley with a skybridge, the Fox Cities Exhibition Center in Appleton will serve as the central hub for our 2026 Expo Hall—where innovation, connection, and discovery come together. Built seamlessly into the hillside of Jones Park, this modern and versatile venue offers an open, light-filled space outside our Expo Hall where exhibitors will showcase building materials, products, and technologies. Attendees can explore the newest tools of the trade in our Learning Lab and NEW Innovation Zone, while networking with colleagues, partners, and new connections from across Wisconsin’s design and construction community.
