Brats & Robots

About this event

Brats & Robots takes place in the Exhibition Hall of the Alliant Energy Center, a large Madison venue that hosts many regional trade shows and public events. The listing shows a single day, November 10, 2026, so the show is a one-visit floor rather than a multi-day expo.

The same venue hosted the event in November 2025, so it has a track record there. The listing directs visitors to the organizer page for details and pre-registration, and that page is the place to confirm hours, parking and exhibitor information.

For a venue or facilities team, the value is mostly observational. A single day on the floor gives a quick look at automation options, which helps staff ask sharper questions before any vendor conversation.

Who should go

• Facilities and maintenance managers reviewing repetitive cleaning, transport or setup tasks
• Event venue operations leads planning how floor staff and equipment handle load-in and turnover
• Staff who want a one-day overview before scheduling deeper vendor meetings
• Venue managers in south central Wisconsin with a short travel window

Why it matters for robots

The strongest reason to attend is to compare task types with your own building. Event venues often repeat jobs such as floor cleaning, moving staging and resetting space between bookings, and a one-day show lets you see which of those tasks are being automated and how much setup each one needs.

Be realistic about what a show can tell you. Demonstrations are staged, and the listing does not publish an exhibitor list, so you cannot confirm in advance which equipment you will see. Bring a short list of your own tasks, space limits and staffing rules so you can judge any demo against real conditions.
