Join us from June 5 – June 9 for our diamond-year celebration of science fiction, fantasy, and related genre creators around the globe!

If you’re not making use of our massively discounted self-parking rate of $5 per day, hop on the free-to-ride Kansas City StreetCar to visit local sites between conference events and our 60th Annual Nebula Awards Ceremony. The Kansas City Marriott Downtown is the closest downtown hotel to the Kansas City International Airport, and ZTrip is available, in addition to Uber, Lyft, and cab services, for all your other local transport needs. 

At our fingertips this year are:

• The Kansas City Power & Light Entertainment District
• The Kauffman Center of the Performing Arts
• The National Collegiate Basketball Hall of Fame
• The National WWI Museum at Liberty Memorial
• The Negro League Baseball Museum
• The American Jazz Museum
• River Market and the Crossroads Arts District (via StreetCar)

Or stay in for the whole show! With rooms at $179/night plus tax, and free in-room Wi-Fi when you join Marriott Bonvoy (at no extra cost), there’s plenty to do in this fully modernized and renovated downtown conference hub.

The VOO Cocktail Lounge was reimagined and reopened in 2023, and joins MetropolitanKC, BARCENTRAL, and CoffeeCENTRAL to provide us with a range of meet-up spots for old and new friends alike in the genre.
