After a successful pilot in 2021, Wichita Startup Week is set to return this month with events aimed at helping people beyond the Kansas city realize its potential as a startup community and hub, said James Williams.
“The time is now. Whether someone is trying to start a business or just trying to figure out how to advance their career, Wichita Startup Week is about encouraging people to be entrepreneurs in their own careers — to take control of what they’re doing in life because it’s ultimately up to themselves,” said Williams, the co-founder of Techstars Wichita Startup Week and senior community affairs manager for Black Hills Energy.
In partnership with Techstars, Wichita Startup Week runs Monday, Oct. 10 through Friday Oct. 14 and is free to attend. A majority of the sessions are set to take place at Groover Labs, a coworking space in Wichita.
