Creating inclusion and broadening involvement from Kansas City metro entities that drive innovation is the mission of the Gigabit City Summit: Local Edition, set for June 16, 2017, in Kansas City, MO
“Our national event in August is the premier conference for leaders in cities that either have or are planning to build out gigabit fiber networks. The June 16th Local Edition is more about Kansas City’s progress since becoming a Gigabit City,” said Aaron Deacon, managing director of KC Digital Drive. “It’s critical we continue to broaden involvement in the Kansas City metro among interested city governments, organizations, businesses and community groups that drive innovation.”
Session topics include innovation ecosystems in Kansas City, case studies in health care, digital inclusion and education facilitation, civic innovation and the entrepreneurial ecosystem, emerging project opportunities and discussion of how the KC Region participates in the broader ecosystem. There will be numerous opportunities to network, observe demonstrations and identify ways to become more involved.
