EVENT DETAILS:

This year, the EDC will celebrate our visionary award winners, as well as mark the occasion with the award-winning sketch comedy group, “Right Between the Ears.”  The comedy group, featured on SiriusXM Comedy Showcase, will present skits that celebrate Kansas City business and underscore this year’s theme, “Kansas City Takes a Bow.”  The performance will feature “outsiders” who visit Kansas City and discover just how “hip and cool” Kansas City really is — from the burgeoning tech industry, to bioscience, entertainment, food and the arts — to set a fun, positive and celebratory tone of Kansas City pride.
