Looking for the perfect place to host your next aviation event? Welcome to Wichita—the city where aviation history was made and where innovation continues to soar. From legendary aircraft brands to world-class venues and insider connections you won’t find anywhere else, here’s why planners love bringing their events to the Air Capital of the World.
Wichita’s central location & accessibility
One of the best parts about bringing a meeting or event to Wichita? It’s incredibly easy to get here—and even easier to get around once you’ve arrived.
Our modern airport offers 16 nonstop flights to major U.S. cities, including Seattle, Chicago, D.C., Dallas, Houston, Minneapolis, St. Louis and Las Vegas, with service from Delta, American, United, Southwest, Allegiant and Alaska Airlines.
And the convenience doesn’t stop there. A quick five-to-10-minute drive takes you from Dwight D. Eisenhower National Airport to downtown hotels, meeting spaces and attractions. The free Q-Line bus makes it a breeze for attendees to explore restaurants, shops and entertainment districts during their stay.
Wichita can facilitate connections with top industry experts and aviation leaders
Hosting an event here means tapping into the heart of the aviation world. Wichita is home to a tight-knit network of engineers, educators, innovators and leaders who have helped shape the industry.
Looking for a local expert to headline your event, a city official to deliver a warm welcome, or a connection to a leading aerospace company? We can help you make it happen. Wichita offers opportunities to build relationships and access expertise you won’t find anywhere else.
Authentic experiences & venues
When your meeting wraps up for the day, Wichita’s aviation story offers plenty of ways to keep attendees inspired.
