About this Event
ABOUT THE EVENT
This event brings together business leaders, community partners, elected officials, and stakeholders from across the region to celebrate the progress of downtown Kansas City while exploring the opportunities and challenges that lie ahead.
This year, we are especially excited to highlight the catalytic projects transforming downtown and the lasting impact they will have on our community.
We're also introducing a fun, engaging, and interactive Shark Tank-style pitch program designed to showcase bold ideas, catalytic projects, and innovative initiatives that are helping shape the future of downtown.
Guests can expect an energetic atmosphere filled with compelling stories, exciting presentations, and a special artistic performance that celebrates the creativity and spirit of Kansas City. We hope you'll come out and join us as we celebrate the momentum, innovation, and partnerships that continue to move downtown forward.
