2014 APWA Mid-America Conference & Exhibit

National APWA—www.apwa.net Missouri Chapter APWA—http://missouri.apwa.net

2014 APWA Mid-America Conference & Exhibit Show

When: May 21 – 23, 2014

Where: Overland Park Convention Center - Overland Park, Kansas

This spring’s Mid-Am Conference is rapidly approaching, and though you would never guess from the weather, it will be here before

you know it. So far, nearly 50% of our booth spaces are reserved (with prime booth locations going fast!). Online conference regis-

tration was announced the final day of January and before the end of February, over fifty persons had registered. I won’t tell you

which Chapter is ahead in registrations, but I will say: WAY TO GO KANSAS CHAPTER!! for no particular reason.

You may not know this, but the Mid-Am is one of the first events to use APWA National’s new website

template. This has resulted in “issues” with the online registration process. If you are one of those that

has experienced frustration with the website, please accept our apologies. On the flip side of the coin,

we are doing WAY better than HealthCare.gov, and we spent somewhere south of $300M to get things

up and running…nevertheless, we are sorry for any inconvenience. If problems persist, contact informa-

tion for persons that can assist with registration for exhibit space or the conference itself are provided on

the website, or you can contact me and I’ll point you in the right direction (contact information below).

Make it a Stay in Kansas City! The Kansas City area will have a lot going on during and after the Mid-Am Conference, including:

Royals Baseball: The Kansas City Royals will take on the Chicago White Sox at Kauffman Sta-

dium on Wednesday, May 21st. First pitch is at 8:10 p.m.

Worlds of Fun: If you want something for the kids to do, this long-time KC attraction opens in early

May. If you stay after the conference, both Oceans of Fun (Missouri-side) and Schlitterbahn (Kansas-side) waterparks open

the same weekend.

For a comprehensive list of things that can be part of your trip to Kansas City in May, visit the following

the BEST SHOW in PUBLIC WORKS

National APWA—www.apwa.net Missouri Chapter APWA—http://missouri.apwa.net

Make plans now to attend 2014 Congress in Toronto, Ontario!

Toronto is a city constantly unfolding and alive with unlimited potential and energy. You know that excited feeling

you get when you see a great menu that is filled with so many incredible dishes that you want to taste each one?

That is how attendees of the 2014 International Public Works Congress and Exposition will feel when they are in

this incredible city and experience all that Toronto has to offer!

An international city of warmth, openness, energy and style enriched by the fusion of traditions, passions and ways

of looking at life of over 100 cultures—Toronto is an intimate metropolis featuring world-class dining, shopping,

creativity, architecture and entertainment.

Toronto's skyline includes the CN Tower, one of the Modern Wonders of the World; miles of waterfront, board-

walks and trails; distinct neighborhoods and historic districts with inspiring surprises—from artisans' exhibits to

cool cafés—around every corner.

Toronto's cultures offer an unparalleled variety of spice, taking fusion to a level far beyond cuisine. Find beautiful

architecture of the city's settlers alongside modern, sleek, gold-tinted skyscrapers. Toronto celebrates voraciously

with over 1,000 festivals every year. How's this for more juxtaposition: the street vendors even dish up soy hot dogs!

If you’re the kind who likes the unexpected, you'll love Toronto.

What do Torontonians love about Toronto? That's a long list but topping it would be the diversity. Two transit to-

kens are all you'll need to travel from one continent to another, to immerse yourself in the languages, art, cuisine

and ideas of a hundred different cultures and neighborhoods that make up this intimate metropolis.

Beyond the city limits explore fabulous regional attractions and breathtaking countryside vistas. Experience the

wonder of Niagara Falls, a renowned wine region, outstanding theaters, festivals, galleries and many outdoor ad-

ventures—all within a short drive.

...And that's only the beginning!
