Here are 10 reasons you should submit an event to Global Entrepreneurship Week – KC:
1. Get in front of Thousands
Attendance for GEWKC last year topped 5,000. This is a prime opportunity to get your business in front of startups, established businesses and those interested in entrepreneurship.
2. KC Entrepreneurs Need YOU
We know your head and heart are jam-packed with knowledge and insight—share your expertise. One for all and all for one!
3. It’s Hassle-Free
You do the fun part (imagining your event and gathering your talent), and we’ll do the tactical stuff (getting a venue and setting the schedule). It’s that easy.
4. Meet Like-Minded Business Pros
GEWKC is broken into five tracks: makers and creators, social entrepreneurship, startups, tech and scalers (those looking to grow their business). You’re sure to make great connections.
5. Give Back to #startupKC
Someone helped you at one time or another. GEWKC is an easy way to give back and support the startup scene in Kansas City.
