For the second year in a row, we have teamed up with the
Greater Kansas City Chamber of Commerce to bring KC an (un)conference unlike
any other. iKC: The Unconference is an open
format conference to facilitate collisions between innovators, entrepreneurs,
investors and connectors.
Unlike any other event in Kansas City, iKC is all about
taking great ideas and turning them into action. And that’s also where the iKC Ambassadors
come into play. The iKC Ambassadors will
not only be in attendance at iKC on October 3, but they will play an integral
part in bringing iKC awareness to the community and fostering more collisions
and connections both prior to and during the unconference.
A big thanks to our iKC Ambassadors:
- Sam Bao, Curator at StartupDigest
- Adam Coomes, Kansas City Entrepreneur
- Katie Peterson, Director at iStart, Manager in Networks and Innovation at the Kauffman Foundation
- Perry Pucetti, President and CEO of Triple-I
- Carrie Royce, Founder of Shabby Hats and Prodigy Arcade
- Ryan Weber, President of KCNext–The Technology Council of Greater Kansas City
In addition to our Ambassadors, iKC: The Unconference will
also feature a 1-on-1 UnMentor program.
Current UnMentors include Keith Bae, Pat Doherty, Dr.
Julie Edge and Ryan
O’Connell. Stay tuned as we announce more UnMentors in the coming weeks.
Attendees can sign up to be mentees of the UnMentor program by filling
out the online
application. In order to apply for
the 1-on-1 program with one of our UnMentors, you must purchase an iKC
ticket.
iKC: The Unconference takes place on October 3, 2013 at
H&R Block World Headquarters in downtown Kansas City. A big thanks to our iKC Location Sponsor,
H&R Block and the iKC Agenda Creation Sponsor, Husch Blackwell. A special thanks to our newest sponsors
including Centrix Innovations, Kansas City Business Magazine, Adopt-a-Highway,
