Join us for the 2026 KADC Annual Conference!
December 4–5, 2026
Kansas City Marriott Country Club Plaza
Kansas City, Missouri
Two days. Sharp perspectives. Practical CLE. The people you actually want to see.
The KADC Annual Conference is where Kansas defense attorneys come together to talk about what’s changing, what’s coming next, and what it means for their practice. Expect timely sessions, strong speakers, practical takeaways, and plenty of time to reconnect with colleagues from across the state and region.
It’s the kind of conference that sends you home with new ideas, useful perspective, and a few conversations you’re glad you had.

Why Attend?
This year’s program tackles the issues defense attorneys are navigating right now — from implicit bias and AI to SCOTUS, Martinez issues, trial tactics, legislative updates, ethics, and Kansas case law.
You’ll hear from experienced attorneys, judges, and industry voices with practical takeaways and perspective you can use in your practice.
And beyond the CLE, there’s plenty of time to reconnect — from exhibitor breaks and the Annual Business Meeting & Awards Luncheon to KADC Cocktails & Connections.
Come for the CLE. Stay for the conversations. Leave with ideas you can actually use.
CLE Credits
Pending approval for up to 12 hours of CLE (including 2 ethics credits) in Kansas and Missouri.
