Put your organization in front of Kansas City’s communication, marketing and public relations community by sponsoring the 2027 KC IABC Business Communicators Summit, happening Thursday, February 18, 2027, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the KU Edwards Campus Best Conference Center.
The Business Communicators Summit is KC IABC’s premier annual conference and a gathering place for corporate communicators, agency strategists, nonprofit storytellers, marketers, public relations professionals and digital innovators.
This year’s theme, Chart the Course, reflects the forward-looking mindset of Kansas City’s communication community. As communicators navigate changing technology, evolving audience expectations and new ways of working, BCS gives professionals an opportunity to learn from one another, make valuable connections and prepare for what’s ahead.
Why sponsor BCS?
For local businesses, sponsoring BCS is more than logo placement. It’s an opportunity to build awareness and relationships with professionals who influence purchasing decisions, recommend partners and vendors, manage communications programs and help shape the reputations of organizations throughout the Kansas City region.
With a full day of programming, including breakfast, lunch and a happy hour, sponsors have multiple opportunities to connect with attendees through sessions, networking, exhibitor opportunities and event promotions.
Your sponsorship also helps KC IABC continue bringing high-quality professional development and networking opportunities to Kansas City’s communication community.
