The events are free and open to the public. Join us for an opener at 4:00, followed by the keynote speaker, Q&A, and networking with pizza!

Openers present on tools and resources for UMKC students and the community. Keynote speakers are diverse entrepreneurs with fascinating experiences and stories.

This month, Dan Smith and Miranda Schultz of Porter House KC, join founders from the 811 Retail Incubator to discuss strategies for empowering underserved entrepreneurs. Drawing from their mission to provide space, education, and tailored support, they’ll share insights on overcoming challenges and fostering business growth.
