1102 GRAND is proud to say that KCnext‘s Summer IT Happy Hour was once again an outstanding networking opportunity. The venue, the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum in the Historic 18th and Vine Jazz District, did not disappoint. A packed house of Kansas City IT professionals met and networked among the historic baseball artifacts.
I was able to reconnect with customers and friends I haven’t seen for awhile. I also met quite a few new contacts ranging from software companies to engineering firms. Most of the attendees were from the KC region, but I spoke with people from Denver and New York who planned their trip around the Kcnext event! I was also fortunate to conduct the drawings for some excellent prize giveaways for lucky attendees.
Many thanks again to KCnext along with our other co-sponsors – levelfive, Stackify, Balance Innovations, Enterprise Center of Johnson County, Polsinelli Shughart and Tradebot.
Make sure you go to KCnext to sign up to be notified of additional upcoming networking and educational opportunities at kcnext.com. The next IT networking event is November 15th at the College Basketball Experience.
I hope to see you there!

Join 400+ CIOs, CTOs, tech professionals and entrepreneurs from the KC region ready to network. We firmly believe that when you bring together the best and the brightest in the IT community to exchange ideas, meet new contacts, and help connect the dots, good things are sure to follow. We have witnessed the power of networking at this level first hand and cannot wait until July 26th KCnext IT Networking Event at the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum, 5-8 p.m. Also, there will be plenty of food and beverages, as well as some excellent tech gadget giveaways from 6-7 p.m. In addition, attendees will be able to view multi-media displays about our country’s history of African-American baseball.
