Major plans for the 2020 AAEA Annual Meeting in Kansas City, MO are already in the works. The meeting will take place July 26-28, at the Kansas City Marriott Downtown.
The Kansas City Marriott Downtown is located in the heart of downtown Kansas City, surrounded by other hotels, a plethora of dining options, as well as various sites rich with historic and popular culture. National Geographic named Kansas City as one of the Best Trips in 2019. Take an extra day to explore the attractions like the National WWI Museum and Memorial, the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum, or the American Jazz Museum. For the kid in all of us visit The National Museum of Toys and Miniatures. Just blocks from the Kansas City Marriott is the Power & Light District. The Light District offers something for everyone with entertainment, dining and retail shops. Don’t forget to check out KC Live! An entire city block with two levels of world-class restaurants, taverns and night spots.
We encourage all attendees to book a hotel room at the Kansas City Marriott Downtown under the AAEA room block. Single and Double room rates start at $162 per night. The room block is open to book reservations. Please visit the Annual Meeting hotel page for additional information.
Kansas City’s central location makes it easy and affordable to get to via airplane, train, or automobile. Attendees arriving by airplane may benefit from a 5% discount when booking with American Airlines when traveling to Kansas City. In addition, SuperShuttle has been chosen as the designated airport transportation provider for the 2020 AAEA Annual Meeting. Please visit the travel options page for additional information.
