Business Networking: Lawrence Style

There are always business networking events in Kansas City.  With the Kansas City Chamber of Commerce, the Kauffman Foundation and Think Big Partners hosting events every month, sometimes it's hard to decide which event to go to.  Just look at KC Source Link's calendar: most months are booked solid.

But what about Lawrence?  Our friendly neighbor to the West.  The home of Kansas University.  Surely there are networking events going on there.  But which ones are worth going to? 

The Bioscience & Technology Business Center in Lawrence.
