UW Madison hosts a number of self-organized conferences, such as IT Professional Conference, and the Information & Technology Leadership Conference, providing employees with a means to hone their presentation skills and share their expertise with the larger IT campus community.
The UW-Madison campus is comprised of over 900 acres of picturesque grounds located on the shores of Lake Mendota. The campus is bounded on the east and south by the City of Madison and on the west by the village of Shorewood Hills. The location of the campus, the need to develop within the existing campus boundaries, the desire to preserve open space and the numbers of people accessing the campus on a daily basis contribute to this being one of the more complex transportation/parking systems in the Midwest. The campus has over 19.5 million gross square feet of building space and offers a broad array of undergraduate, graduate, professional, research and advanced academic programs.
