Kansas City, KS
Get ready to experience Kansas City (KC), a city that hits all the right notes, blending the rhythm of urban vibrancy with the harmony of a close-knit community. Much like jazz — a genre born to tell stories and spark connections — KC thrives on its culture of musicians, performers, marketers, athletes, architects, innovators, entrepreneurs, and adventurers.
Dive into the heartbeat of KC at the District 5 Conference this October. Together, we'll compose a symphony of ideas, camaraderie, and inspiration. Register now through the conference website to secure your spot and learn more about hotel reservations, schedule announcements, and other details. Let District 5 Conference in KC be the tempo that carries your creativity forward!
Hotel Kansas City, an iconic landmark with a history dating back to its days as the Kansas City Club in 1882, re-opened in October 2020 and now sets a new standard for grand hospitality in KC and beyond. This upscale hotel is located in KC’s acclaimed Power & Light District, the epicenter of restaurants, live entertainment, and nightlife. And, like a well-composed jazz piece, KC offers seamless movement, courtesy of the free KC Streetcar (with a stop one block away), connecting you to dynamic destinations such as Crossroads Arts District, Union Station, and River Market. These areas are true masterpieces with art galleries, local produce, made-in-KC memorabilia, and a medley of shops and culinary offerings. And you’ll arrive in style, the new single-terminal Kansas City airport that opened in 2023 represents a total transformation of the passenger experience with the convenience of modern air travel in a facility with updated technology and amenities.
