KCnext Reverse Pitch

Get ready to listen and take lots of notes. KCnext is about to bring back the Reverse Pitch.

After a successful spin last year, the tech council has rounded up even more corporations to pitch business ideas that entrepreneurs can partner with them on. Eight companies will present on Thursday, Nov. 20, at Union Station in the Greater KC Chamber Board Room: Adknowledge, Assurant, BATS Global, Black & Veatch, Cisco, DST Systems, Perceptive Software and Sprint/Pinsight Media+. They’ll also use the time to talk about their in-house innovation efforts and ways entrepreneurs can engage with them on a regular basis.

That’ll run from 3–5 p.m., and be followed promptly by an early-stage innovation showcase and KCnext’s fall networking event wrapped in one at the Sprint Festival Plaza (also in Union Station). Startups there will come from Digital Sandbox, the Ennovation Center, Sprint Accelerator and more. It runs until 8 p.m.
