Our host, Willy Street Co-op, has been a fixture in the capital city since 1974. Their sales and ownership have grown steadily over their 47 year history with over 32,500 owners, a staff of 365 and combined annual sales of $60 million. Woven into everything the co-op does is their commitment to invest in and enrich both the community and the environment.

Land Acknowledgement
The Sheraton Madison occupies ancestral Ho-Chunk land, a place their nation has called Teejop (day-JOPE) since time immemorial. In an 1832 treaty, the Ho-Chunk were forced to cede this territory. Decades of ethnic cleansing followed when both the federal and state government repeatedly, but unsuccessfully, sought to forcibly remove the Ho-Chunk from Wisconsin.
We acknowledge the circumstances that led to the forced removal of the Ho-Chunk people and honor their legacy of resistance and resilience. We humbly approach our shared future and collaboration with a recognition of this history of colonization.
We recognize and respect the inherent sovereignty of the Ho-Chunk Nation and the other eleven First Nations that reside in the boundaries of the state of Wisconsin. We encourage you to visit their websites for more information:
Bad River Band of Lake Superior Chippewa, Brothertown Indian Nation, Forest County Potawatomi Community, Ho-Chunk Nation, Lac Courte Oreilles Band of Lake Superior Chippewa Indians, Lac du Flambeau Band of Lake Superior Chippewa Indians, Menominee Indian Tribe of Wisconsin, Oneida Tribe of Indians of Wisconsin, Red Cliff Band of Lake Superior Chippewa Indians, Sokaogon Chippewa Community, St. Croix Chippewa Community, and Stockbridge Munsee Band of Mohican Indians.
The conference is coordinated by the Indiana Cooperative Development Center and the Food Co-op Initiative.
