On Tuesday, October 20, KBN members and friends gathered at Topgolf from 6 to 8 PM for an evening of pure networking. It was our final official KBN event of 2026, and it was a great way to close out the year.
The night kicked off with a warm welcome to everyone in the room, including several first-time guests who came to meet the KBN community for the first time. Professionals, business owners, and young leaders from all different backgrounds came together, and that’s exactly what KBN is about: you don’t have to be Korean to join. If you value Korean heritage and meaningful connections, you’re welcome here.
As the sun set over the range, the bays filled up with swings, friendly competition, and plenty of cheering for great shots (and a few not-so-great ones). Between rounds, conversations moved to the lounge over food and drinks, where members shared what they’re working on, swapped ideas, and made new connections across industries and generations. We ended the night with a group photo that captured the energy of a growing community.
A Special Thank You
We’d like to extend a heartfelt thank you to Jay of DataLocker, who stopped by during the evening and generously gave KBN a gift of encouragement. Support like this means so much to a growing community like ours, and it helps us keep creating spaces where connections are made and businesses grow. Thank you, Jay, for believing in KBN and the next generation of leaders in Kansas City!
KBN is a next-generation network. Our goal is to help Korean American entrepreneurs, professionals, and students put down deep roots in Kansas City and to grow a stronger Korean business community together, one connection at a time.
While our official 2026 calendar is now complete, the community keeps going. Join us for our weekly Monday pickleball and our upcoming Thanksgiving potluck, and look for us at the KASGKC Year-End Night in December, where we’ll attend as a group.
Thank you to everyone who came out and made the night so special. We can’t wait to see you at the next one!
