May 19-21, 2025


Welcome to Kansas City—Heart of America, City of Fountains and the proud home of AIHA Connect in 2025. We hope you’ll spend your time here discovering everything has to offer, from famous favorites (barbecue, anyone?) to deeply significant cultural institutions (you’ll find the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum and the American Jazz Museum under one roof) and hidden hangs that are guaranteed to dazzle (add Swordfish Tom’s to your list).

Here’s where to start exploring during your stay in Kansas City.

Just Down the Street


Go for a stroll or grab a RideKC Bike just outside the doors from your hotel. You’ll find everything from locally-roasted coffee to nightly live music and award-winning restaurants.

 

Take the KC Streetcar


Thanks to the KC Streetcar, you’re minutes away from the River Market, the Crossroads Arts District, Union Station and Crown Center, as well as the National WWI Museum and Memorial. It’s free to ride and doesn’t require a ticket—just step aboard and you’ll be on your way. (Tip: For the closest access point, head to the Metro Center stop at 12th & Main. It’s three blocks east of the Kansas City Convention Center.)

 

Can't-Miss Dining


From award-winning pies and some of the city's finest patio spaces to upscale venues and barbecue mainstays, there are plenty of ways to savor KC's flavors just steps from your hotel.

Keep your time in KC affordable with a series of exclusive discounts and savings opportunities, available to visitors and convention attendees only through KC Savings.
