Hotels

Hotel reservations and accommodations are the responsibility of the participant. The following hotels are recommended and within walking distance of the conference site. If you choose to make your reservations at any of these preferred properties, please reference the "Kauffman Foundation-OECD Conference" to receive a preferred rate.

Shuttle service will run from recommended hotels to the Kauffman Foundation beginning at 7:15 a.m. Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. Shuttles will run in a circle so attendees only have to wait a maximum of 15 minutes for a shuttle. Shuttles will be marked as Agenda KC, the company we are using for the event.
