The convention starts today, July 6th, and runs through Saturday, July 10th at the Wyndham Milwaukee Airport and Convention Center. The center is located at 4747 South Howell Avenue in Milwaukee. Several rooms at the Wyndham will be made into exhibits with the collectible items from Coca-Cola Collectors members.

On Saturday, the public is welcome to bring their Coca-Cola collectibles and memorabilia so it can be appraised by experts on hand.
