Business After Hours - Candidates' Showcase

SMALL BUSINESS IS GROWING THE FUTURE OF KANSAS CITY

This year, 134 Celebration Candidates submitted an application for the Mr. K Award. Join these beautiful bloomers at the Business After Hours Candidates' Showcase on March 19!

Cultivate your relationship building skills at this evening networking event. We'll make it easy on you this month because you'll have the opportunity to mingle with the well-planted garden of Candidates in the running for the 2009 Small Business of the Year award. All of the Candidates will be stationed at tables displaying their business bravado, products & services! There will be plenty to chat about, to look over, and to learn about our Celebration bloomers.

This Showcase event is the kick off of the Small Business Celebration judging process. By the month of April, 10 of these 134 businesses will be chosen by a panel of judges and brought to you at the next Business After Hours on April 16.

We also cross pollinate... following up to the Candidates' Showcase is our April 16 Business After Hours - Meet the Top 10! Another perennial favorite, the Top 10 Breakfast on May 7, is where we hear the Top 10's stories and best practices that got them a blue ribbon for best bloomer! Join us in kicking off this inspiring and exciting spring season loaded with business recognition!
