&lt;h3&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Sponsorships &amp;amp; Exhibitor Showcase&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;Sponsors and exhibitors receive valuable visibility through conference materials, event signage, the KADC website, and the&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Kansas Defense Journal&lt;/strong&gt;, along with opportunities to connect directly with attendees throughout the conference.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p data-pm-slice="1 1 []"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 14px;" color="#000000"&gt;Your feedback was clear, and we're introducing something new for 2026!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 14px;" color="#000000"&gt;We've heard the interest in sharing sponsorship opportunities, so this year we're offering &lt;strong&gt;two co-sponsorship spots for KADC Cocktails &amp;amp; Connections!&lt;/strong&gt; It's a new way to support one of the conference's signature networking events while sharing the investment and visibility.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 14px;" color="#000000"&gt;Exhibitor spaces and additional sponsorship opportunities are also available. Connect with defense attorneys from across the region and put your organization in front of the people you want to reach!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>KADC 2026 Annual Conference (December 04, 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p align="center" style="background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;strong data-start="205" data-end="253" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://kadc.org/resources/Pictures/Unknown-2.png" alt="" title="" border="0"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="center" style="background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;strong data-start="205" data-end="253" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Join us for the 2026 KADC Annual Conference!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div align="center"&gt;
  &lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;December 4–5, 2026&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p align="center" style="margin-top: 0px !important; margin-bottom: 0px !important;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;Kansas City Marriott Country Club Plaza&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="center" style="margin-top: 0px !important;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;Kansas City, Missouri&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Two days. Sharp perspectives. Practical CLE. The people you actually want to see.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;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.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;It’s the kind of conference that sends you home with&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;new ideas, useful perspective, and a few conversations you’re glad you had.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;a href="https://kadc.org/event-6866218" target="_blank" class="stylizedButton buttonStyle003"&gt;[Register Now]&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Why Attend?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;
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.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;You’ll hear from experienced attorneys, judges, and industry voices with practical takeaways and perspective you can use in your practice.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;And beyond the CLE, there’s plenty of time to reconnect — from exhibitor breaks and the&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong data-start="2021" data-end="2066" style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;Annual Business Meeting &amp;amp; Awards Luncheon&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;to&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;KADC Cocktails &amp;amp; Connections&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Come for the CLE. Stay for the conversations. Leave with ideas you can actually use.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p data-start="1746" data-end="1864"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;u&gt;CLE Credits&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p data-start="1890" data-end="1989"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;Pending approval for up to&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong data-start="1911" data-end="1930"&gt;12 hours of CLE&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;(including&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong data-start="1942" data-end="1962"&gt;2 ethics credits&lt;/strong&gt;) in Kansas and Missouri.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p data-start="1890" data-end="1989"&gt;&lt;em style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Oswald; font-size: 30px; font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 14px;" color="#000000"&gt;Hotel Accommodations — More Options for 2026!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 14px;" color="#000000"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;You asked for more hotel options, and we listened!&lt;/strong&gt; While the Kansas City Marriott Country Club Plaza remains our official conference hotel, we're happy to share two nearby alternatives within easy walking distance.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;strong style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;Official Conference Hotel&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;
