The Kansas Tourism Conference is a highlight each year with inspiring speakers and networking opportunities. Both sponsors and attendees, alike, enjoy interacting with hotels, attractions, CVBs, and dining and retail establishments from across Kansas!
The Kansas Tourism conference is a “don’t miss” of the Kansas tourism industry. If you select to have an exhibit booth as part of your sponsorship you will have numerous opportunities the evening of Monday, October 21st and throughout the day on Tuesday, October 22nd to highlight and promote what your business has to offer the tourism community.
Do you have what it takes to promote your organization? We will find out at the 2024 TIAK Marketing Award contest in October! Our goal is to recognize the outstanding marketing efforts of tourism throughout Kansas. This program is limited to TIAK members only. Winners will be announced at the conference.

The Kansas Tourism Conference will be here before you blink! Now is the time to contribute to the Student Scholarship Fund so we can continue offering a scholarship to a student in a Kansas hospitality/tourism program of study. This is a great opportunity for the next generation of tourism professionals to learn about Kansas, network in the industry and build upon their coursework and learning. However, we cannot award a scholarship without the help of our members. Did you know it takes $600 to bring a student to the conference each year? Between meals, lodging and conference registration, that’s a lot for a college kid to shell out, so let’s help to keep the momentum going for this great program! You can donate as little as $10.
