An Evening Dedicated to Excellence
Each year at the ESCA Winter Celebration & Awards, we dedicate an evening to celebrating the outstanding achievements, innovation, and commitment of professionals in our industry. Leaders, innovators, and rising professionals from across the exhibition, meeting, and event services community come together for one memorable night of recognition, networking, and celebration. Join us in 2026, as we raise a glass to celebrate our industry in true Wisconsin Supper Club style.
The Wisconsin Club
This year we gather in Milwaukee at the historic Wisconsin Club, a grand 19th-century mansion where dark wood paneling, moody lighting, and plush lounges set the stage for a night of luxurious comfort in true supper club style.
Expect live jazz, brandy old fashions and passed champagne, relish trays at every table, and grasshoppers to finish: a toast to the traditions that bring our industry together.
