Upcoming event: Ignite Kansas City at Kauffman Foundation

Here’s a great upcoming event for the folks in Kansas City (and honestly, the entire region, although registration is capped around 150!) Bo Fishback and the team at the Kauffman Foundation are announcing Ignite Kansas City to be held on November 3rd. Read on for more information…

If you had five minutes on stage to pitch a new idea, what would you say?

Around the world, creatives, technologists and entrepreneurs have been putting together free “Ignite” events in answer to this question, and now the Kauffman Foundation is pleased to hold “Ignite Kansas City” as part of its new initiative, Kauffman Labs for Enterprise Creation.

The Details

Tuesday, November 3 6 to 8 p.m. Kauffman Labs for Enterprise Creation (at the Kauffman Foundation) 4801 Rockhill Road, Kansas City Beverages and light dinner fare will be served Admission is free with a confirmed RSVP

Whether you want to present a business idea or just come to listen, we want you to participate! But first, you have to RSVP at www.kauffman.org/igniteKC. If you’d like to present, you’ll be asked to submit a short (150 words max) written pitch. We’ll select the best ideas and see how many talks we can get on the agenda. Remember, five minutes is all you get on stage! (See http://ignite.oreilly.com for the sorts of things people have presented at other Ignites around the world.)

I hope you can join us for an evening of fun, new ideas, and networking – and the opportunity to check out the cool new Kauffman Labs space where we’re helping new companies take off.

Space is limited, so reserve now at www.kauffman.org/igniteKC
