A gathering of young Kansas Citians who want to share and discuss their ‘Big Idea.’ This event focuses on entrepreneurial ideas, ventures and learning about starting a business. BigIdeaCamp is part of Kansas City’s support of entrepreneurs and EntrepreneurshipWeek USA festivities.
Some topics could include: Starting your BigIdea, finding funding, turning your dream into a plan and many others.
Anyone with something to contribute or with the desire to learn is welcome and invited to join.
BigIdeaCamp will follow the BarCamp format – an ad-hoc gathering born from the desire for people to share and learn in an open environment. It is an intense event with discussions, demos, and interaction from attendees. Find out more about BarCamp at barcamp.org
