Build Human Connections Beyond Your Profile: LinkedIn Local Coming to KC

More than 100 cities throughout the world are now hosting #linkedinlocal events and Kansas City won’t be left out. Led by Abraham Gin, the rest of the creation team and I are hard at work putting together details for the first quarterly connection event on June 7.
LinkedIn Local was started as a way to get people out from behind their online profiles, business titles and company names. Local events allow time and space for first degree connections to meet in real life, create real relationships and collaborate on real opportunities. LinkedIn Local KC exists to create space for human connection.
LinkedIn Local KC events will be pitch-free, maximizing your time to hear from others about LinkedIn best practices, social media success stories, short TEDx-like segments, expert panel discussions on diverse topics to help you grown personally and professionally, and of course, networking.
We invite you to “Level Up Your Game” on 6/7 with notable speakers from Hallmark, Central Exchange, Overflow Storytelling Lab and more! Tickets are available on the website and net proceeds go to Boys & Girls Club because Kansas City loves charity!
Future event dates will be announced soon and we’re always looking for collaborators and sponsors to keep this movement going. Drop me a message or fill out the form on the website and someone from our creation team will be in touch. And make sure to say hello in person at the event - I’ll make sure you feel welcome and get you connecting quickly!

6 年Thanks, Jenn! I'm now signed up for a couple upcoming events in Austin. Agree with principal behind this: meet the real people behind the LinkedIn profile. Looking forward to connecting with more of my local tribe!
