Kansas City International Airport (MCI) was built by the City of Kansas City, Missouri and opened in 1972. Its low congestion and small number of flight delays have long established it as one of the most appealing commercial airports in the world. Located 25 minutes northwest of downtown, its three C-shaped terminals offer aircraft loading around the perimeters and passenger parking at the center. Distance from the aircraft to the curb is less than 75 feet.

Note: There are companies that are claiming to offer registration and housing services for CSWE’s 2024 APM, which are not affiliated with CSWE and do not offer any services on our participants behalf. The term housing pirates is used as they fraudulently gain access to credit card information and defraud unsuspecting victims. Participants may receive emails or phone calls from these companies urging you to book hotel rooms or register. Registration and housing should only be accessed through links accessed from Registration and Housing | CSWE and reserved through CSWE’s official housing provider: Convention Management Resources (CMR).
