The Kansas Economic Outlook Summit is a reimagined and expanded evolution of the Kansas Economic Outlook Conference, bringing together business, workforce, economic development, community leaders, and public-sector partners from across Kansas. The Summit focuses on the trends, opportunities, and challenges shaping the state’s industries and communities, with an emphasis on turning insight into action. Designed as a three-day experience, the Summit includes pre-summit workshops, a welcome reception, keynote presentations and economic forecasts, and concurrent IMPACT and ELEVATE sessions focused on practical, solutions-driven strategies. Flexible and customizable ticket options allow attendees to tailor their experience based on their interests, schedule, and professional needs. At its core, the Summit is about breaking down information silos and strengthening connections across sectors. Participants can expect relevant insights, meaningful dialogue, and actionable takeaways that can be applied directly within their organizations and communities.
