Located in downtown Kansas City, Missouri, just 20 minutes from Kansas City International Airport, the Kansas City Convention and Entertainment Facilities dominates the city skyline with its brilliant art deco pylons.
The Convention Center recently completed a $150 million expansion and technology upgrade. It now features one of the 10 largest convention center ballrooms in the country. Kansas City's downtown convention center can accommodate conventions and special events in one place. Attendees are right in the heart of the city and just steps away from hotels, the Sprint Center and the Power and Light District. The $850 million dollar district is the largest and most exciting development in the midwest.
The Kansas City Convention and Entertainment Facilities offers 388,800 square feet of column-free exhibit space on one floor, another 55,000 square feet of additional space on two levels, 45 state of the art meeting rooms, a 46,484 square foot Grand Ballroom, a 2,400-seat fine arts theater, and a renovated arena that can seat more than 10,700 people. The Convention Center has an outdoor plaza and sculpture garden for events up to 2,000 people and a permanent tennis court at Barney Allis Plaza with onsite parking for up to 1,000. It is all connected to major downtown hotels and underground parking by glass-enclosed skywalks and below-ground walkways.
Whether you’re planning a corporate meeting, promoting a rock concert, booking a national convention or touring a family show, Kansas City has a space to accommodate every need.
