Last Thursday I had the privilege of participating in the KCnext Fall IT Networking Event at the College Basketball Experience. What a great experience it was! Where else could one be involved with conversations about mobile technology trends, good places to find venture capital, the challenges of starting your own business or where to find datacenter space? The list goes on and on.

There were connections being made all over the place, with sponsor provided prizes being given away via drawings. If all of this was too much to handle, people could slip away and participate in one of the many interactive games that the CBE has available.
Thank you to everyone (attendees and sponsors) who made the KCnext Fall IT Networking Event a fantastic experience!

I hope everyone has a safe and relaxing Thanksgiving!
