Conference in KC
From the large-scale Kansas City Convention
Center to the more intimate, loft-style spaces of the Crossroads District at bizperc, Kansas City has a lot to offer when it comes to meeting spaces. Downtown KC has been recently revamped
and is ready for eager professionals!
Ng writes, “In the first two months of 2012, the city hosted more than a
dozen conventions that contributed more than $20 million to the local
economy…In 2011, it recorded its best year ever in terms of hotel demand, with
6.6 million room nights sold.” Tourists
and business people alike are discovering that Kansas City is the new hip
destination.
Synergy in St. Louis
The Meeting
Professionals International World Education Congress love St. Louis so much, they even had their annual meeting there in July. St. Louis offers the 500,000 square foot America’s Center
right in the center of the lively downtown with four convention centers in one—including
Cervantes Convention Center, Edward Jones Dome (yep, the football stadium is
inside this place!), St. Louis Executive Conference Center and the Ferrara
Theatre. Walk out the door, and
you’re immediately surrounded by restaurants, hotels and other attractions. With room to play and sites to see, St.
Louis offers more than just great sports teams and Budwesier beer!
Book it in Branson
You may be surprised to find Branson
on this list, but it’s been gaining convention popularity. At this family reunion destination,
you’ll find not only large groups of relatives strolling around in matching
t-shirts, but also business professionals attending conferences. The Branson
Convention Center is just moments away from golf
courses, a lake and the Landing (filled with shops and luxurious dining). Plus,
if you’re really feeling adventurous, Silver Dollar City is just nine miles
away. You’ll also find the lowest
hotel room tax out of the three cities here – 12.1 percent! It’s not just for tourists anymore
either. Branson is getting a
well-deserved rep for hosting some pretty important people.
As the Silicon Prairie gains more
popularity, the Midwest earns more respect. Missouri has a lot to offer – and professionals
everywhere are starting to see it.
The first condition of understanding a foreign country is to smell it.
