Overland Park, Kan. (May 8, 2025) — The Overland Park Convention Center is proud to announce that Britaney Wehrmeister, district marketing director for Oak View Group, has been named to Ingram’s 2025 Class of 40 Under Forty. This prestigious award recognizes outstanding business leaders under the age of 40 who have made significant contributions to their companies and communities.
Britaney has been a driving force behind OPCC’s strategic growth and national recognition. Her leadership in digital marketing and innovation has directly contributed to record-breaking success, pushing overall facility revenue to $14.5 million and increasing website-generated revenue by 542%. These accomplishments have earned her a promotion to district marketing director, where she now assists in guiding marketing strategies for 40 venues nationwide.
She has also played a pivotal role in positioning OPCC as a top venue in the country, helping secure its title as Best Small Convention Center in North America in 2023.
Britaney’s impact extends beyond business. She has led PR and communication efforts for Kansas City’s Toys for Tots campaign since 2016, transforming OPCC into the region’s largest donation hub. In 2024 alone, the venue collected 31,531 toys—more than some entire states. Britaney also serves on the boards of HopeKids Kansas City, the Christian Okoye Foundation, and the Blue Valley Education Foundation, continuing her commitment to philanthropy and community growth.
As featured in Ingram’s magazine:
Effective digital marketing can boost sales of sneakers, ocean cruises and energy drinks. But how do you turn that tool into a revenue generator for a convention center? Britaney Wehrmeister knows how. As district marketing director for the company that manages the Overland Park Convention Center, she’s spearheaded the launch of two new websites and implemented data-driven digital marketing strategies, pushing facility revenue to nearly $14.5 million last year and driving a 542 percent increase in website-generated revenue, effectively demonstrating the tangible business impact of digital transformation. That success hasn’t gone unnoticed; Oak View Group promoted her to district marketing director, and she now assists in setting marketing strategies for 40 venues across the United States, helping drive similar impact at a national level. Wehrmeister, 36, is particularly proud of her work to elevate OPCC’s convention and meeting appeal. It was named Best Small Convention Center in North America in 2023. All of it, she says, flows from a passion for strategic growth and community impact. Her commitment to philanthropy is equally impactful. “Since 2016, I have led communication efforts for Kansas City’s Toys for Tots campaign, ensuring maximum visibility, community engagement, and donation growth,” she says. “In 2024 alone, we collected 31,531 toys at our venue—more than some entire states—solidifying our role as the region’s largest donation hub.” She also serves on multiple non-profit boards, including HopeKids Kansas City, the Christian Okoye Foundation, and the Blue Valley Education Foundation.
We are thrilled to celebrate Britaney’s recognition as part of this exclusive group of leaders.
