Big Des Moines attendees pose for a photo at our last Big Series party.
Part of what makes Big Kansas City more than your average conference is the comprehensive experience that it will provide March 26-28.
During the daytime, you’ll engage with the stories, advice and tactical lessons from our talented and eclectic mix of startup founders, designers and leaders on stage. However, when we leave Hangar 9, one of the most valuable parts of our event occurs with the personal one-on-one interactions at our parties. These casual and fun environments allow our attendees and speakers to truly get to know one another and develop those real relationships and partnerships.
