Event Staffing at Kansas City Convention Center

Downtown Kansas City

Trade shows, conventions, and large-scale activations at Kansas City Convention Center need teams that know how to work a show floor. Meridian Talent House provides them.

Meridian Talent House is an independent staffing agency. We staff events held at Kansas City Convention Center, and we are not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by the venue.

What our teams do here

Anchored by Bartle Hall in downtown Kansas City, the Kansas City Convention Center offers 388,800 square feet of column-free exhibit space on a single floor, enough for more than 2,000 booths, plus 48 meeting rooms, the Grand Ballroom, and a 10,700-seat arena. Its four Sky Station pylons are an icon of the Kansas City skyline, and the complex hosts national conventions, trade shows, and consumer expos.
