For a stay of 9 or more rooms, Engine Groups handles the booking; for 8 or fewer, you book self-serve.

What should I compare when choosing between conference hotels in Kansas?

Start with the size and layout of each property's largest event space, along with how many total meeting rooms it offers. For example, the Sheraton Overland Park Hotel at the Convention Center has a largest event space running about 29,000 square feet and 21 event spaces total, while The Oread Lawrence offers a largest space of about 6,600 square feet with 22 event spaces. Also consider guest-room count, location relative to your attendees, and proximity to the airport serving the city where you're hosting.

What amenities can attendees expect at these properties?

Most hotels on this list offer parking, wifi, and on-site dining, though specifics vary by property. Details like AV equipment, catering options, and complimentary breakfast differ from one hotel to the next, so confirm what's included when you request space or book rooms. Engine lets you search and compare these hotels, and for meeting and event space you can find and request a venue through Engine Spaces.

How far in advance should I book rooms for a big event?

For a large conference, aim to secure your room block at least three to six months out, especially if you're planning around peak travel seasons or popular dates. Booking early gives your attendees more options and can help lock in better rates. If you need 9 or more rooms, Engine Groups handles the booking; for smaller groups of 8 or fewer, you can book self-serve on Engine.
