Community Partner Celebration
Join for our annual Community Partner Celebration, an evening to celebrate the people, partnerships, and projects helping move Kansas City’s innovation ecosystem forward. This year’s event will take place at the newly launched Tech Central, a new hub for tech innovation in downtown KC.
The celebration brings together the community partners, entrepreneurs, educators, public agencies, companies, funders, technologists, and regional champions who make this work possible year-round. Throughout the evening, guests will get a look at projects and collaborations happening across digital inclusion, emerging technology, entrepreneurship, workforce development, research commercialization, civic innovation, and community-driven economic development.
Expect great food, cocktails, networking, interactive showcases throughout the Tech Central space, and plenty of opportunities to connect with people doing meaningful work across the region. More than a reception, the event is a chance to highlight what happens when organizations and communities work together to turn ideas into action.
