YOU’RE GOING TO LOVE our time in KANSAS CITY


SFWA recognizes that the current political climate in the United States may leave some people uncertain whether they are willing to travel to the US in general, or Missouri in particular.

Kansas City has made explicit commitments to diversity, equity, and inclusion.

For example, the Kansas City Council approved a resolution designating Kansas City as a “sanctuary city” for LGBTQ+ people. In 2024, Kansas City received a perfect score on HRC’s Municipality Equality Index for the fourth year running—an index which measures support for LGBTQ+ individuals throughout daily life. SFWA will also have both volunteer and professional security available to actively prevent and resolve harrassment.

We believe that Kansas City is a welcoming place for all writers, and we look forward to celebrating with all of you.
