The second annual Joplin Regional Innovation and Technology Summit takes place tomorrow. KRPS’s Fred Fletcher-Fierro has more.
The one-day event at James River Church in Joplin is held by the Joplin Area Chamber of Commerce. It focuses on individuals and businesses, from large companies to the smallest family business.
Also encouraged to attend are tech and innovation enthusiasts, those who work in the healthcare industry, and educators. Erin Sflika with the Joplin Area Chamber of Commerce encourages those who reside or operate a business in neighboring states to consider also attending.
“We hope anyone in the area. We have people coming down from Kansas City and Wichita, people have registered for the conference. I know that we have a handful of students from Pittsburg State University attending, and area high schools, we have a great group coming out from McDonald County.”
The Innovation and Tech Summit is free to attend and includes breakfast and lunch. To register and for more information, visit JoplinTechSummit.com.
