Register Today, We're Just Weeks Away

The NOMA Kansas City Chapter is looking forward to welcoming you to the 2025 NOMA Annual Conference: Future Unfolding!

Kansas City is a city on the move—famous for jazz, BBQ, sports, and now, for bold growth and innovation. As we prepare to host the 2026 World Cup and continue reshaping our downtown, we’re asking: how do we build a future that’s truly equitable and inclusive?

This year’s theme challenges us to reflect, reimagine, and take action. Kansas City’s spirit of resilience, creativity, and community pride is everywhere—from 18th & Vine to the Crossroads Arts District, from iconic stadiums to pioneering small businesses.

Founded in 2019, the Kansas City NOMA Chapter is honored to host this year’s gathering. Together, let’s celebrate, connect, and shape a future that uplifts everyone.

Late registration begins August 11th so register today for the best rates and while there’s still room!
