As a corporate event space Kansas City organizations rely on, we offer private, suite-style rooms staffed with our full in-house AV, catering, and security teams. With our turnkey planning, you can:

In addition, our shuttle service gives your group VIP access to Kansas City Fan Fest or other downtown celebrations while keeping your base of operations in one of the safest, most walkable areas in the metro. With the Sheraton attached and 1,000+ hotel rooms in the immediate area, your guests move effortlessly between sessions, receptions, and viewing moments.
For leadership teams, board-level meetings, sponsor headquarters, or multinational briefings, Overland Park Convention Center gives you a polished, all-inclusive environment for your World Cup itinerary.
Companywide Celebrations & Team Experiences
If your goal is employee connection, morale building, or a full-team celebration, we deliver comfortable watch moments without the noise, crowding, or logistics of downtown. Our venue is a go-to corporate event space Kansas City-wide teams can actually enjoy, thanks to flexible layouts, tech-forward production, and the seamless flow between programming and celebration.
- Kick off with a high-energy rally featuring an emcee, music, and moments of company recognition.
- Bring everyone together with a casual buffet, drink tickets, jersey-day atmosphere, and leadership remarks before the match begins.
- Turn your gathering into a memorable brand experience by hosting an awards program or themed reception leading into shared match viewing on oversized screens.
Families, staff, and distributed teams feel welcome thanks to accessible parking, walkable hotels, and on-site amenities. If you want to add an off-site component, your employees can hop onto our shuttle to the Kansas City Fan Fest. Our dedicated shuttle also ensures smooth movement between our convention center and MCI, making your guests’ experience intuitive from their arrival to the celebration.
Once the party has come to a close, return to Overland Park—one of the safest cities in North America—for post-match activities or team networking. Whether you’re planning an employee rally, a hybrid meeting plus match viewing, or a full-day involvement experience for your entire organization, we offer the flexibility, hospitality, and planning support to make it effortless.
