Hotel Information

The 2021 Float Conference, as well as the pre-conference Start A Center Workshop and CPO Training, will be held at the Potawatomi Hotel & Casino.

We have promised the hotel that we will fill a certain number of hotel rooms in exchange for a discounted room rate and a great deal on meeting space and catering costs. If we don’t meet our contracted room numbers, our event spaces and food become much more expensive. Filling (or exceeding!) our goal of room reservations will help us to keep our ticket prices affordable for future conferences.

Please help us meet this goal by staying at Potawatomi for the 2021 Float Conference!

We understand that costs can add up when attending a conference. If you’re interested in sharing a room with another conference attendee, fill out this form, and we will try to match you up!

Our Location

Milwaukee, WI

Potawatomi Hotel
& Casino

While a casino might feel contradictory to our mission in the float community, the resort and meeting spaces are beautifully aligned with the peace and tranquility we promote.

Potawatomi is run by the local tribal community, who share many of the same values as Float Conference, including a commitment to sustainability.

The Vibe

The overall feel of our meeting space is natural and calming. Attendees at the Float Conference will not have to be in the casino area or be in a high sensory area at any point, unless they want to. The hotel rooms and meeting space are serene, calm, and all around aesthetically pleasing. We'll meet in rooms named "Inspire", "Serenity", and others that fit the floaty vibe.
