SPECIAL
NOTE: As agreed during NIIF General Session
#44 (See Agreement Reached #2), participants will make their
own hotel reservations for meetings hosted by a company and held within
a company’s meeting space rather than having ATIS contract for a
NIIF room block. For your convenience, I have listed several nearby hotels
for you to make
your own reservations at.

Transportation:
There is shuttle service available from the airport to the hotels but to get to the campus, you will need to ride with another individual who has a rental car or your other option would be to take a taxi to the campus from the hotel.
Shuttle services from the airport to the hotels in Overland Park are:
