We are so excited to be back in Kansas City for this year’s event. But most of all—we’re thrilled for the long-awaited opportunity to see firsthand how each of our teams solved their Challenge this season.
Collaborate with your team to fix, rebuild or add any final touches to your props, and then showcase what you’ve designed among all of your peers in an awe-inspiring Prop Storage exhibit space. Each team will have their own booth space and access to designated “garage” spaces to work on their props. View our 2019 Prop Storage Video.
Take part in a variety of special events and activities happening throughout the week, including educational experiences, hands-on exhibits, pin trading, a duct tape fashion show, movie night, dance parties, graduation, and more!
