The Madison Concourse Hotel & Governor’s Club
In the heart of downtown Madison, Wisconsin and just steps from the state capitol building, the Madison Concourse Hotel has been hosting the Annual Conference on South Asia for over 15 years!
We are proud to offer our conference attendees preferred room rates in partnership with the Concourse to provide a seamless experience between attending our 150+ panels and exploring all that our city has to offer.
