SUMMARY:April Education Event
DESCRIPTION:      \nApril 15\, 2026\nLocation: Kansas City Airport Marriott\n775 Brasilia Avenue\, Kansas City\, MO 64153\n  \nPartners in Place: How to Collaborate with Cities to Deliver Better Meetings\nDescription: \nSuccessful meetings don’t happen in isolation\, they are built through strong partnerships with the cities that host them. From destination marketing organizations and convention centers to municipal stakeholders and local suppliers\, understanding how to effectively collaborate with a city can elevate the attendee experience\, streamline logistics\, and create long-term value for all involved.\nIn this interactive panel discussion\, representatives from Visit KC\, experienced event and convention planners\, and a key supplier partner will share real-world insights on how planners can engage cities as strategic partners—not just service providers. The panel will explore best practices for communication\, alignment\, and leveraging city resources throughout the event lifecycle\, from site selection and contracting to on-site execution and post-event impact.\nAttendees will leave with practical strategies for building productive city partnerships that support successful\, sustainable\, and memorable meetings. \nTimeline:\n12:00 pm – 12:30 pm Registration\n12:30 pm – 1:30 pm Lunch/Program\n1:30 pm – 2:00 pm Networking\n  \nMeet our panelists: \n \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nDenise DeJulio\nVisit KC \n \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nBrandy Williams\nMOCSA  \n \n  \n  \n  \n  \nAesha Beattle\nNational Tank Truck Carriers \nSEE WHO’S COMING!\nThank you to our event sponsors:\n                                          \n \n  \n
