A statewide association conference brings the same challenge wherever it lands: multiple days moving between a general session, breakout rooms, and a banquet hall, all inside one hotel footprint that’s bigger than it looks from the lobby. A scooter delivered ahead of check-in means you’re covering that ground at your own pace for the whole stay.
How Delivery Works for DoubleTree Lawrence Conference Events
Because the conference space is part of the hotel, delivery is simple: reserve online or by phone, and we bring the insured scooter to the DoubleTree’s front desk ahead of your check-in, tagged with your name and stay dates. It’s yours for the whole stay, no separate venue handoff required.
The Space
Roughly 19,000 square feet across two divisible ballrooms. The Regency Ballroom is the anchor, scaling up to around 600 for a banquet setup or roughly 1,000 theater-style — genuinely large enough for a multi-day statewide conference.
Confirmed Events
The Kansas Association for Floodplain Management (KAFM) holds its annual conference at the DoubleTree Lawrence — a real, recurring statewide association meeting. The venue’s scale and central Lawrence location make it a natural fit for other Kansas association conferences and corporate meetings that want a university-town setting.
Lawrence Hotel Pairing
Staying at the DoubleTree itself is the simplest option for an event in its own conference space. For visitors combining a conference trip with a KU campus visit, Memorial Stadium, or a Mass Street evening, the same scooter covers the whole stay.
Common Rental Scenarios
- Multi-day association conferences — full-stay rentals covering general sessions, breakouts, and banquet functions.
- Corporate meetings and retreats — shorter rentals for attendees managing a mobility limitation during a business trip.
- Combined conference-and-campus visits — one rental covers both the conference stay and a side trip to the University of Kansas.
