Travel & Expenses

Travel arrangements will be made by Kauffman.

For 2012, the participant will be reimbursed for one round-trip ticket to and from the originating airport when the trip is booked through Travel and Transport at 816-932-1110, or kauffman@tandt.com by noon CST on Friday, March 9, 2012.

We provide the lowest-priced reasonable ticket at the time of booking. If you prefer not to accept that particular itinerary, you have the option of changing the itinerary, but will be asked to pay the difference between the fare offered and the fare of your choice.

All charges, fees, additional fare costs, or penalties incurred from changes made to airline reservations after they are ticketed are solely the financial responsibility of the participant and are not subject to reimbursement. Luggage expenses will not be a covered expense.

In order to receive reimbursement, you must use our in-house travel consultant to arrange for Kauffman-covered travel accommodations by March 9, 2012

When contacting Travel and Transport, please be prepared to provide:

  • Your name as it appears on your photo ID; 
  • Method of payment;
  • Date of birth; 
  • Gender; 
  • Seating preference (aisle or window); 
  • Time requirements for travel; 
  • Departing airport; 
  • Relevant frequent flier numbers; and
  • Special requirement requests.

Ground transportation to and from the airport, as well as to and from the Foundation and evening events will be pre-arranged and covered by the Kauffman Foundation.

Hotel accommodations have been arranged at the Intercontinental Hotel: 401 Ward Parkway, Kansas City, Missouri.

We regret that we are not able to cover any other travel expenses including: home-to-airport transportation, airport parking, meals while traveling, or incidental costs including car valet gratuities, spa services, restaurant/bar, honor bar, or any costs associated with guests traveling with meeting participants. Meals on your own are not reimbursed by the Kauffman Foundation.

Meals during the forum will be provided by the Kauffman Foundation as listed above.
