Delegates will be housed in seven groups of hotels, according to the Journal Sentinel. Wisconsin hotels will provide 2,926 rooms to delegates and Illinois hotels will provide 2,841.

Delegates staying in Illinois will be split between groups of hotels in Lake County and Rosemont.

Rosemont is just east of O’Hare and about 80 miles from Fiserv Forum, comparable to the distance to Madison. Racine, Kenosha and Sheboygan also will not host delegates.

All told, the convention is expected to bring as many as 50,000 visitors to the state — including delegates, members of the media and volunteers — and bring tens of thousands of dollars to the area.

The 2016 Democratic National Convention had a total economic impact of $230.9 million for its host city, Philadelphia, the Philadelphia Convention and Visitors Bureau reported.

Deb Archer, president and CEO of Destination Madison, said in an email she had been in contact with the DNC and their housing company since Milwaukee was announced as the Democratic National Convention host city back in March.

At the request of the DNC, several Madison and Dane County hotels have room blocks set aside for potential visitors at the time of the convention.
