We received wonderful customer service and had a great pre-planning and onsite experience. I also wanted to let you know how much I appreciated Kaleena James specifically. She was easy to work with, quick to respond, always followed up and was a great resource to connect me with the KC community! I appreciated being included in the Convention Alert that went out to Visit KC’s partners before our Conference. Thank you to your entire team for a great week and a great experience in Kansas City!

I wanted to personally thank you and your marvelous colleagues for all you did to make the 2019 National American Choral Directors Association Conference such a phenomenal success!  Our membership absolutely loved being in Kansas City and our experiences in your beautiful city were simply fabulous.  You and your colleagues welcomed us and were there to help us at each and every step in the process.

Indeed, this was a conference that will be remembered for years to come.  Thank you again for the professionalism and great care that you gave to our organization and to our individual members.

"Kansas City was the perfect fit for Phi Theta Kappa’s Centennial Convention. The affordability and walkability was ideal for our group! From the initial site visit through the execution of our event, the entire Visit KC team made the entire planning process easy and stress-free. I would highly recommend all meeting planners give Kansas City very serious consideration!"

"The Pentecostal Assemblies of the World, Inc. is one the oldest religious organizations in the world. With churches literally across the globe, we travel yearly for our annual conventions. In 2016, we had the privilege of coming to the great city of Kansas City, MO. In my capacity as Director of Convention Operations for the organization, one of my tasks is to meet with the venue and CVB reps to ensure a smooth show. I was overwhelmed with the support, knowledge, hospitality and most of all professionalism of Kaleena James and her team. Excellence is the word that comes to mind. There wasn’t one area that we didn’t have assistance in to make us feel welcome and like we mattered as a client. Kaleena and Visit KC, you guys are the best!"
