1 Sporting Way, Kansas City, KS 66111

Hosted by the Entrepreneurial Exchange, Sporting KC, and Cerner

More than 300 entrepreneurial leaders and aspiring leaders will gather at Children’s Mercy Park in Kansas City, KS for “Meet the Masters” and a special honor to Neal Patterson.

Through Neal’s leadership and the Entrepreneurial Exchange, Meet the Masters has become an iconic event for the Kansas City business community.  Neal’s vision was to regularly bring together the founders of Kansas City’s iconic companies.  Entrepreneurs learn best from other entrepreneurs and this event allows these business legends to share their stories with Kansas City’s younger visionaries.  This year’s intimate gathering will highlight six entrepreneurial masters in a setting where attendees will hear stories; many from the earliest of days.

This will be the 8th such gathering.  This year's Masters include:

Bob Bernstein, Bernstein Rein, Beauty Brands, Blockbuster

Joe Bisogno, Mr. Goodcents

Mike Coughlin, ScriptPro

Terry Dunn, JE Dunn Construction

Barnett Helzberg, Helzberg Diamonds

Matt Watson, VinSolutions, Stackify, Full Scale
