The 100 Black Men of Greater Kansas City hosted professionals and organizations from across the city at a unique networking experience Friday evening, May 4, 2012, at the Uptown Theater, 37^th& Broadway, KCMO at the Classic Black Soul Festival.  Networking with the 100.  The host was Darron Story with Intrepid Entertainment and formerly a Director with the Greater KC Chamber of Commerce. 

This networking event was specifically designed to assist area professionals and recent college graduates in making “life changing” connections.   After all, it’s the right relationships that lead to true success.  The LIVE format helps forge these relationships. In addition to a standard business card exchange expected at networking events, the event featured a unique EXECUTIVE Speed Networking session at the event.  African-American Directors to CEOs at some of the country’s top businesses and brands are participating from companies like Hallmark, Sprint, AT&T and AMC Theatres to name a few. Participants asked for career advice, resume previews, industry insights and more.

In addition to Executive Speed networking, the event included a Panel—“View From the Top” a panel discussing entrepreneur, corporate,  and personal career success featuring Chris Evans, chair of MBEIC of the MidAmerica Minority Supplier Development Council, Carlose Estes, Financial Professional with  Prudential Insurance and Stan Lister, INROADS, Alumni.

The event was produced by H.G.E. Marketing and sponsored by KCSoul.com and CentralGiving.com.
