Where will GEWKC take place?

Balancing safety with the benefits of face-to-face interaction is a real challenge. So, each event organizer has determined if their session is virtual or in-person. See our calendar of events to find out where sessions will be held. Hint: a majority of events have a virtual option.

In past years, we’ve had a base camp for GEWKC. But this year, events will be online and around the KC metro. So just find the events that are right for you.
