Where will the 2025 International LAM Research Conference & LAMposium take place?
The Conference, including the Breath of Hope Gala, will take place at the Westin Kansas City at Crown Center, located at 1 East Pershing Road, Kansas City, Missouri, USA, 64108. The Kansas City International Airport (MCI) services the area.
I need to order oxygen for the conference. How should I handle it with the hotel?
If you need supplemental oxygen during your visit, please pre-order through your regular oxygen supplier and make sure your oxygen is delivered to the front desk of the Westin Kansas City at Crown Center with your name on the order no more than 24 hours in advance of your arrival.
What should I wear to the Research Conference & LAMposium and the Breath of Hope Gala?
Smart casual or business casual attire is recommended throughout the conference. All presentations will take place inside the hotel’s ballrooms so bring a sweatshirt, sweater, or a pashmina if you tend to get chilly. You may also want to bring comfortable clothing for yoga or other fitness activities, if you plan on participating. The hotel has a fitness center and a large outdoor pool. Don’t forget your dancing shoes and formal attire for the Breath of Hope Gala!
