We’re located at College Boulevard and Nall Avenue, directly off I-435 on the Kansas side of the metro. That interchange pulls attendees from both Kansas and Missouri with roughly equal drive time, and Kansas City International Airport is about 30 minutes away. For events drawing a regional audience, highway access matters just as much as the address.

CURA Café: Coffee Without the Detour
When agendas are tight, leaving the venue for specialty drinks isn’t always practical. While most morning meetings already include coffee service, CURA Café gives attendees a place to grab lattes, matcha, and other café-style drinks without leaving Overland Park Convention Center. It’s a convenient way to recharge between sessions, during breaks, or while teams are loading in.
A Proven Track Record in the Kansas City Metro
Serving planners since 2002, Overland Park Convention Center supports hundreds of thousands of attendees each year and consistently delivers high client satisfaction scores. From local galas to national trade shows, our team understands the pace and precision large events require.
Plan With Confidence at Overland Park Convention Center
When you’re comparing event spaces in Overland Park, details like how fast exhibitors can load in, where registration is located, how catering stays on schedule, and what standards support guest comfort matter. At Overland Park Convention Center, we build those details into the plan, ensuring your event runs smoothly from move-in to final send-off.
Plan With Confidence at Overland Park Convention Center
Space That Matches Your Event
Our Exhibition Hall spans about 60,000 sq. ft. with 30-foot ceilings, a column-free floor, and 8 loading docks, plus two drive-in ramps that streamline move-in for vendors and larger installs.
For conferences and receptions, our 25,000 sq. ft. divisible ballroom pairs with 14,000 sq. ft. of pre-function space, giving you a natural footprint for registration, sponsor tables, and attendee transitions.
Need breakout conference rooms that stay close to the action? Our Courtyard level includes seven breakout rooms with 13,000 sq. ft. of pre-function, and the Outdoor Courtyard (about 25,000 sq. ft.) creates an easy option for open-air receptions and evening networking.
Award-Winning Culinary Leadership
Overland Park Convention Center’s culinary program is led by Executive Chef David Ruiz, appointed in August 2024, with 20+ years of experience and recognition that includes a James Beard Foundation competition win.
For planners, that translates into clearer menu direction and smoother service, from plated dinners to high-volume galas (including events that can exceed 3,500 guests). If you’re planning a banquet or gala, Chef Ruiz is known for hands-on menu development, including tastings, and a commitment to locally sourcing ingredients. That’s how having an expert chef at your chosen event spaces in Overland Park supports the event.
Operational Standards & Event Support
Overland Park Convention Center builds guest confidence with operational standards. We’ve achieved GBAC STAR Facility accreditation, focused on outbreak prevention, response, and recovery—backed by trained staff and documented protocols.
We also support sensory-inclusive events with a KultureCity-approved sensory room, located at the Exhibition Hall A entrance on the upper level, giving attendees a calm reset space when they need it. On the production side, in-house AV and technical support make it easier to run multi-session agendas within our event spaces in Overland Park.
Frequently Asked Questions
Every licensed room in the building starts with the same guaranteed amenities. This includes the room setup, a skirted registration table, a 12-by-16-foot riser with lectern, directional signage, high-speed Wi-Fi, free parking, and a hard lock overnight.
We uphold that standard across our event spaces in Overland Park. This way, a program that grows from one Courtyard Room to the Exhibition Hall can transition as easily as possible. We’re also open about the way we price additional services beyond that standard baseline.
Our calendar opens 14 months ahead. Large conventions anchor the schedule first because their hotel room blocks take the longest to build, and single-day meetings and social events usually slot in around them. So the bigger your program, the closer to that 14-month mark you’ll want to reach out. Smaller events can request dates on shorter notice.
The 412-room Sheraton Overland Park shares our complex and connects directly to the building, though the two operate as separate businesses. Your Overland Park Convention Center sales manager can connect you with the hotel for room blocks. That can help attendees book and reach the session floor without stepping outside. More than 1,000 additional hotel rooms are within walking distance.
Parking at Overland Park Convention Center is free. Roughly 1,000 free spaces surround the complex, with covered ADA parking near the entrances and overflow on the north side off 110th Street. For budgeting, parking is a zero line. There are no per-car fees and no garage contracts to arrange for attendees.
Yes. The Ballroom divides into four sections, and the Courtyard Rooms combine in blocks, so a day-one general session can become day-two breakout tracks within the same week.
That’s one of the reasons these event spaces in Overland Park work for multi-day programs that shift as the agenda changes. Your event manager will build each changeover into the schedule, so our crew can reset the rooms on the timeline you set.
ADA parking, entrances, elevators, and restrooms serve both levels, and service animals are welcome throughout.
Guests with sensory needs can request sensory bags, use the Sensory Room, and speak with staff trained through our KultureCity certification to recognize sensory sensitivities and guide them to the right on-site resources. One planning note: we don’t keep loaner wheelchairs on site, so attendees who need one should arrange it before arrival.
Unserved prepared meals go to the community, not the dumpster. Through Pete’s Garden and the FRED (Food Residual Environmental Diversion) program, our kitchen redirects surplus food after events. These are part of the zero-waste practices Chef Ruiz’s team runs daily across our event spaces in Overland Park. Planners with sustainability requirements can review what our eco-friendly event venue practices cover before booking.
