Call now to book it up...the clock is ticking...and you're loosing money!!"
KC could be a major player in the corporate convention business with its central location. This isn't about a SKILLS convention, or a Future Farmers of America Convention. Nope, its not about Wal-Mart or Betty Crocker....this is bigger. The conventions we want are what every White Collar American dreads to be a part of, but loves going to because of the 3 day paid vacation, and the parties afterwards. Getting a convention hotel in Downtown KC would do nothing but help bring hundreds of thousands of new people to Kansas City, and millions of new revenues to the city. But don't take my word, take Billy Mays!
