An Evening That Has it All
The KMS Manufacturing Meetup is coming to Wichita. Join manufacturers and those who support them at Chicken N Pickle for an evening of real conversations, great food, and a few things you will not want to miss. Drop in anytime between 4:00 and 8:00 PM. Food and drinks are included with your ticket.
Roundtable Discussions
Three casual conversations, no slides and no presentations. Lean and CI at 5:00, Cybersecurity at 5:45, Workforce at 6:15. Pull up a chair for one or stay for all three!
Pickleball
The courts are open. Grab a paddle, find a partner, and see who you meet between points.
Networking Bingo
Work the room with a little added fun. Fill your card by meeting new people, and you might walk away with more than new connections.
A Big Announcement...
Something new is coming from KMS, and you will want to be in the room when we share it.
Be there for the reveal at 5:30!
