# Event Details - **Event Name**: 2025 State of Downtown - **Event Start and End Date**: Wed, 03 Dec, 2025 at 04:00 pm – Wed, 03 Dec, 2025 at 06:30 pm - **Event Description**: The 2025 State of Downtown will spotlight catalytic development projects shaping the next era of growth and transformation in downtown KC.About this EventABOUT THE EVENTBuilding on the expanded vision introduced in 2024, this year’s event will continue to explore how downtown is evolving into a resilient, mixed-use, and highly livable district. Central to our theme is the concept of the ripple effect. As revitalization of the center continues, it is like dropping a pebble in a pond, creating a ripple. Investing in the center has an economic ripple effect on the neighborhoods surrounding the central business district.This year's program will highlight three major development initiatives - the 18th & Vine District, Roy Blunt Luminary Park & Barney Allis Plaza’s redesigned public space, and the UMKC Health Sciences District. We will explore how these projects are catalysts for a ripple effect of economic growth, neighborhood revitalization, and civic pride across our urban core.AGENDA4:00 PM - 4:30 PMRegistration & Arrivals4:30 PM - 5:30 PMProgramWelcomeJason Parson, President & CEO, Parson Associates, 2025-26 Chair, Downtown CouncilRemarks & UpdateMario Vasquez, City Manager, City of Kansas City, MOFeatured SpeakerLynn Carlton, National Practice Leader for Planning, Urban Design & Landscape Architecture, Burns & McDonnellPanel DiscussionModerator: Pat Contreras, Vice President, Business Development, McCownGordon Construction, Vice Chair, Downtown Council & 2025 State of Downtown Planning ChairDr. Mauli Agrawal, Chancellor, University of Missouri, Kansas CityTara Green, Principal, Public Realm Strategies, OJB Landscape ArchitectureBob Kendrick, President, Negro Leagues Baseball MuseumPeter Sloan, Senior Principal Designer, HOKClosing RemarksMayor Quinton Lucas, City of Kansas City, MO5:30 PM - 6:30 PMReceptionSponsorship OpportunitiesPresenting Sponsor - $7,500 (limit 1)10 tickets to the eventCompany logo prominently displayed on event materials and at the eventRecognition with logo and link as a corporate sponsor on the event websiteExclusive company feature in (1) dedicated email to DTC MembershipAcknowledgment from the stage during the event program and in social media surrounding the eventOpportunity to distribute collateral and/or branded swag at the event (item to be mutually agreed upon by the sponsor and Downtown Council, Inc.)Platinum Sponsor - $5,0008 tickets to the eventCompany logo displayed on event materials and at the eventRecognition with logo and link as a corporate sponsor on the event websiteDedicated signage for specific event element sponsorAcknowledgement in social media and PR efforts surrounding the eventGold Sponsor - $3,0005 tickets to the eventCompany logo displayed on event materials and at the eventRecognition with logo and link as a corporate sponsor on the event websiteSilver Sponsor - $1,5002 tickets to the eventCompany logo displayed on event materials and at the eventName recognition and link as a corporate sponsor on the event websiteTo secure your sponsorship, please complete the .
