Baird Center A Great Place for Business, Ideas and Innovation
For more than a century being headquartered in Milwaukee has been a big part of what differentates Baird from other global financial services firms. It keeps us close to our cultural roots, grounded in traditional values and, in true Wisconsin fashion, always thinking “Forward” about the long-term. That's why we're honored to share our name with the state's largest event and meeting venue and to help welcome businesses and organizations from around the world to our hometown.
