Riverport / Maryland Heights, host venueOn site at 13735 Riverport Dr to venueUSD 175–220 / night
Host hotel: guest rooms and meeting space are in the same building, so sessions, the table area and your room are a short indoor walk apart. Park-stay-fly packages and an airport shuttle are advertised by third-party booking partners - confirm both when you reserve.

Local transport
Get around the city with these convenient transport options.
Hotel airport shuttle
Estimated costCost TBA
Best forSt. Louis Lambert International Airport (STL) to Elimwood Hotel, 13735 Riverport Dr
Third-party booking partners advertise STL parking-and-shuttle packages at the Elimwood. Ask for the shuttle timetable when you reserve, because runs are usually scheduled rather than on demand.
Taxi
Estimated costCost TBA
Best forSTL terminal taxi rank to Riverport and Earth City hotels
Rome2rio lists taxi and shuttle options for the STL to Elimwood route with a taxi figure around USD 55; the trip stays inside the airport corridor.
Rideshare (Uber / Lyft)
Estimated costCost TBA
Best forSTL terminals to Elimwood Hotel and the Earth City hotel cluster
Use the designated app pick-up zones outside the STL terminals and check the quoted fare before requesting, since airport surcharges apply.
MetroBus / MetroLink
Estimated costCost TBA
Best forMetro Transit services between the Lambert Airport corridor and Maryland Heights
The MetroLink Red Line serves the Lambert Airport terminals, but the Riverport and Earth City business parks are not on the rail line, so plan a bus or rideshare for the final leg. Moovit lists local coverage for Maryland Heights.
Rental car
Estimated costCost TBA
Best forSTL rental car centre to Riverport and Earth City via Interstate 70
Sensible only if you plan to extend the trip across the St. Louis metro; on-site parking is available at the Elimwood Hotel.
Walking
Estimated costNo fare - the nearest 3-star hotels are within about 750 m of the host venue
Best forElimwood Hotel to Larkspur Landing (about 620 m) and Holiday Inn Earth City (about 750 m)
Once you are in the Riverport cluster you do not need a car for the conference itself; carry an umbrella in April and use the business-park crossings.
Weather
Late April in Maryland Heights is a spring shoulder period rather than a hot stretch: expect cool starts near 10 C, afternoon highs around 20-22 C, and a real chance of rain on any given day. The conference runs indoors at the Elimwood Hotel across 23-25 April 2027, so the weather mainly affects your airport transfer and any evening walk to a neighbouring hotel. Treat these as climatological normals, not a forecast, and check the National Weather Service St. Louis outlook in the week before travel, since spring thunderstorms can delay flights into STL.
Plan for the climate
Check temperatures and pack accordingly
Venue connectivity
US carriers Verizon, AT&T and T-Mobile provide strong LTE and 5G coverage across Maryland Heights and the Riverport and Earth City business corridor, so calls and mobile data work throughout the conference. Visitors on a foreign SIM should confirm roaming before departure or install a US eSIM; hotel Wi-Fi is normally available in guest rooms and meeting space, but confirm whether the conference registration includes it for session use. Power is 120 V at 60 Hz with Type A and B plugs, so UK and European devices need a plug adapter and, for some electronics, a voltage converter.

Cultural notes
Useful information to help you have a smooth and respectful visit.
Conference dress
Business casual is the norm at a US hypnosis and psychotherapy meeting: smart trousers or jeans with a collared shirt or blouse fits both the sessions and the table area. Hotel meeting rooms are heavily air-conditioned, so a light layer is worth carrying even when the April afternoon outside is mild.
Payments and tipping
Everything at the venue is priced in US dollars. Cards are accepted almost everywhere in the St. Louis metro, but carry a little cash for tips: 15-20 percent is expected at table-service restaurants and a dollar or two per bag for hotel staff.
Session etiquette
Silence phones before demonstrations, and ask before recording or writing up another practitioner's client material. Hypnosis sessions at conferences often involve volunteers, so treat anything shared on stage as confidential outside the room.
Around Maryland Heights
Maryland Heights is a suburban business-park and airport corridor rather than a walkable downtown; restaurants cluster along the I-70 frontage roads and in Earth City. Downtown St. Louis, the Gateway Arch and Forest Park are east of the venue - plan a car, rideshare or MetroLink connection if you want to add a day before or after the conference.
Practical guides
Visitor & Exhibitor Essentials
Everything needed to arrive prepared, navigate the event, and make the visit productive.
Flights
Fly into St. Louis Lambert International (STL): Maryland Heights has no commercial airport, and the venue sits on the same Interstate 70 airport corridor as STL, so the ground leg is short. A Google Flights check for New York JFK to the St. Louis area on 23-25 April 2027 returned 12 economy round-trip results for one adult, all one-stop with connections via Atlanta (ATL), Chicago O'Hare (ORD) or Charlotte (CLT), and the fastest listed itinerary was about 5 hr 22 min. Google flagged prices for these dates as currently high, so set a price tracker, compare two or three origin airports if you have them, and book once the fare dips rather than waiting for the conference block. Fares are not published by the organiser, so treat any figure you see as a live quote only.
Transport
Get to the venue and around the city with these options.
Airport → venue: Use the nearest international airport serving Maryland Heights; Metro, train or taxi links are typically available to the venue district.
Hotel → venue: Precinct hotels near Elimwood Hotel: Riverport / Maryland Heights, host venue: Elimwood Hotel, a Ramada by Wyndham; Riverport area, about 620 m from the Elimwood Hotel: Larkspur Landing Extended Stay Suites St. Louis Riverport-Airport West; Earth City, about 750 m from the Elimwood Hotel: Holiday Inn St. Louis Arpt West-Earth City by IHG.
Ride-hail: Uber and Lyft both operate across the St. Louis metro, including Maryland Heights, the Riverport and Earth City business parks and the STL terminals. Collect your ride at the designated app pick-up zones outside the airport terminals rather than the taxi rank, check the quoted fare before confirming because airport surcharges and demand pricing apply, and allow extra time on Friday afternoon when the airport corridor is busiest. For the short hop between the Elimwood Hotel and the neighbouring Riverport or Earth City hotels, walking is usually faster than waiting for a car.
Public transit: Metro Transit runs the region's bus network and the MetroLink light rail. The Red Line connects the Lambert Airport terminals with the airport corridor and downtown St. Louis, but Maryland Heights and the Riverport and Earth City business parks are not on the rail line, so the last leg is by local bus, hotel shuttle or rideshare. For most Heartland attendees the practical pattern is MetroLink or a bus to the airport corridor and a short rideshare to 13735 Riverport Dr. Moovit lists local coverage for Maryland Heights - check the Metro Transit trip planner for current routes and fares before travelling, since suburban frequencies are lower in the evening.
Parking: On-site parking is available at the Elimwood Hotel at 13735 Riverport Dr, which matters if you are driving in from elsewhere in Missouri or Illinois or keeping a rental car for the weekend. Suburban airport-corridor hotels in this area commonly include self-parking in the room rate, but confirm the current rate and whether it is included with your booking when you reserve, and ask the organiser about parking during the conference days rather than assuming the lot is reserved for attendees.
Weather
Plan and pack for the event climate.
Month: April 2027 (conference dates 23-25 April)
Temperature: Expect roughly 10 C (about 50 F) at sunrise rising to 20-22 C (68-72 F) in the afternoon, with the odd warmer day near 25 C and cooler, windy spells. These are late-April climatological normals for the St. Louis area, not a forecast - check the National Weather Service St. Louis outlook in the final week.
Seasonality: April is one of the wetter months in the St. Louis area, with passing showers and the occasional spring thunderstorm that can briefly disrupt flights into STL. Rain rarely lasts all day, so build a flexible transfer window into your arrival day and keep an umbrella in your bag for the walk between the Riverport hotels.
Packing: Pack for two seasons in one weekend: a warm layer for cool mornings around 10 C, short-sleeve shirts for mild afternoons, and a packable rain jacket or umbrella for April showers. Shoes should be comfortable for walking between the Elimwood Hotel and the nearby Riverport and Earth City hotels, and a light sweater helps in the air-conditioned meeting rooms. Add a plug adapter for US Type A/B sockets and a small bag for the conference workbook and any books you buy from presenting trainers.
Plan your trip
Planning
Best day to visit: Day 2 (mid-show)
Mid-show days at Heartland Hypnosis Conference usually combine full exhibitor attendance with scheduled B2B meetings, before early pack-down on the final day.
Day 1
Pack a rain jacket, comfortable shoes, a notebook for session notes and any textbooks you want signed by presenting trainers.
Day 2
Reconfirm the hotel booking and flight, and re-check the organiser site for any schedule or room change. — Late April is a busy stretch on the St. Louis airport corridor.
Day 3
Sort connectivity: confirm roaming or install a US eSIM, download offline maps of Maryland Heights and save the hotel address. — US power is 120 V with Type A/B plugs, so pack an adapter.
Day 4
Prepare a one-page practice summary and business cards if you want to compare supervision, training institutes or referral networks with other practitioners. — Useful for solo practitioners building a referral list across the Midwest.
Day 5
Save your registration confirmation, photo ID, insurance or licence details and any CE paperwork in one folder for badge collection.; Review the late-April St. Louis forecast and pack for cool mornings around 10 C, mild afternoons and April showers. — Hotel meeting rooms are air-conditioned, so a light layer helps during long sessions.
Day 6
Download or print the schedule from heartlandhypnosisconference.com/schedule and mark the inductions, ethics and practice-building sessions you want.; Decide your STL transfer: hotel shuttle, taxi, rideshare or a MetroLink plus bus combination, and note the return pick-up window for 25 April. — The Riverport and Earth City business parks are not on the MetroLink rail line.
Day 7
Reserve a room at the Elimwood Hotel (13735 Riverport Dr) or one of the 3-star Riverport and Earth City hotels within about 750 m, and ask about the park-stay-fly package and airport shuttle. — Staying in the host hotel removes the daily commute to the meeting rooms.
Day 8
Book the flight into St. Louis Lambert International (STL), the airport serving Maryland Heights, and set a fare tracker before you commit. — Google flagged April 2027 fares into STL as high; one-stop routings via ATL, ORD or CLT were the results returned for a JFK round trip.
Day 9
Check with your licensing or certification body whether Heartland contact hours count toward your renewal cycle, and list the sessions you need to document. — Bring your licence or membership number so certificates are issued in the right name.
Day 10
Confirm your registration in the Heartland portal (app.heartlandhypnosisconference.com) and note which ticket you hold - Early Bird full conference, or the Friday, Saturday or Sunday day pass.; Collect your badge before the first session, silence your phone, and introduce yourself to two practitioners working in a different specialty from yours. — Day passes matter if you can only attend one day of the 23-25 April 2027 run.
Day 11
Travel to St. Louis, transfer to the Riverport district, check in and walk the meeting space to find the registration desk.

Who attends a hypnosis conference like Heartland?
The audience is made up of licensed mental health practitioners, hypnotherapists, clinical psychologists, counsellors and hypnosis training institutes who use trance and suggestion techniques in clinical practice.
Glossary
- Hypnotherapy
- A therapeutic technique that uses guided trance and suggestion to help clients with behaviour change, anxiety, pain and stress, usually delivered alongside talking therapy in a clinical or coaching practice.
- Hypnotic trance
- A focused state of absorbed attention and reduced peripheral awareness produced by a guided induction. In clinical work it is a context for suggestion, not sleep, and clients normally remain aware and able to speak.
- Induction
- The opening sequence of suggestions, breathing cues and imagery a practitioner uses to settle a client into trance; inductions range from scripted step-by-step methods to conversational, permissive approaches.
- Suggestion
- The wording a practitioner offers in trance, for example imagery, reframing or direct instruction, intended to shift a client's response to a symptom, habit or memory.
- Ideomotor response
- A small involuntary movement such as a finger lift or hand levitation used as a yes/no signal while a client is in trance, letting the practitioner work without speech.
- Ericksonian hypnosis
- An indirect, permissive style built on metaphor, embedded suggestion and pacing the client's own language, named after Milton H. Erickson. It is one of the main schools delegates compare at practitioner conferences.
- Elman induction
- A rapid, tightly sequenced induction developed by Dave Elman that moves from eye closure to progressive relaxation and amnesia in defined steps; widely taught in clinical hypnotherapy training.
- Age regression
- A technique that invites a client to revisit an earlier period or memory while in trance, used cautiously in therapeutic work and usually discussed in ethics and scope-of-practice sessions.
- Parts therapy
- A model that treats conflicting inner motivations as distinct parts and negotiates between them in trance; often taught in intermediate and advanced hypnotherapy tracks.
- Anchoring
- Pairing a specific touch, word or image with a resourceful state so the client can re-trigger that state outside the session.
- Continuing education (CE) contact hours
- Credits that licensing boards and certification bodies require for renewal. Practitioners check in advance which conference sessions are documented as contact hours and collect the certificate at the end of the weekend.
- Heartland portal
- The online application and registration system at app.heartlandhypnosisconference.com that speakers and attendees use to join the conference.
- Elimwood Hotel
- A Ramada by Wyndham convention hotel at 13735 Riverport Dr in Maryland Heights, Missouri, that hosts the Heartland Hypnosis Conference; the meeting space and guest rooms are in the same building.
