Our theme for 2011, "Reach for the Stars" is a play on Kansas' state motto, Ad Astra per Aspera, which means "To the Stars through Difficulties."

States' Night Out

Tuesday night will be the traditional states night out.  State’s night out provides the opportunity to escape from the conference and enjoy time with co-workers. The Kansas City area is famous for barbeque, but the area also boasts a wide range of flavors to savor during your visit.  Whatever your particular tastes, Overland Park and Kansas City will have something for you.  Here are some websites that have information about dining options.  On several of these you can search by cuisine, location, price, or other factors.
