Where We Stand
The creative core is real: venue walked, agenda drafted, brand direction chosen, community support in hand. Space, chairs, and AV are free.

Backlog
Done: Spark walkthrough and space inspection. In flight: event code, strategy, agenda, venue update, partnerships, branding, promotion, panel. Waiting: food and beverage, expo, post event, remarks. Backlog: AV and technical production, which the agenda cannot run without.
The Room Leaves As Advocates
Everything on this page serves that sentence, so decisions stay easy.
The room leaves as advocates.
They wear the merch.
They take the challenge: if you got something out of today, tell the rooms you belong to about Intuidy.
Intuidy walks away positioned as the hub Kansas City comes to for advice, with partner orgs actively engaged.
Measure it: RSVPs vs attendance, breakout participation, partner orgs in the room, and post-event signals (follow-up replies, new community joins, inbound collabs).

Run of Show
Thursday, October 29th. Tightened with transitions.
| Time | Segment | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 4:00 | Load-in and setup | Four areas: check-in (2 staff), swag (1), drinks (1), food (1). Chairs set per the walkthrough plan. |
| 4:40 | Sound check and team huddle | AV up: mics, playlist tested, carousel looping on screens, numbers 1 to 5 ready at check-in |
| 5:00 | Doors | Flow: check-in, get your number, swag, drinks. Every attendee leaves check-in wearing or holding a Let's Build It tee. |
| 5:30 | Team intros and opening | Rehearsed, not scripted. Closes with the challenge: got value tonight? Tell the rooms you belong to about Intuidy. |
| 5:45 | Panel introduced | Host frames the night and brings up the panel. |
| 5:50 | Panel | How we build, how each panelist became a builder, where this goes next. Steer to the harness question and the digital twin story. |
| 6:30 | Breakouts by number | Five groups of about 20, each with a facilitator holding a numbered sign. Builders share problems, the team advises. |
| 7:30 | Networking, food, music | Food spread and dessert out, playlist up, expo tables and product carousel active, capture owner working the room |
| 9:00 | Close | Thanks the room and restates the challenge |
| 9:15 | Teardown | Leave Spark better than you found it. |
Staffing math: 5 station staff at doors, converting to 5 breakout facilitators at 6:30, plus a host. Minimum team of 7.
Budget
Venue, chairs, and AV cost nothing, so the spend concentrates on what attendees take home: the shirt, the food, and the film.
| Line | Cost | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Spark Coworking space | $0 | Free |
| Chairs | $0 | Free with the space |
| AV equipment | $0 | Brought in-house; live test at Spark before show week |
| T-shirts: 100 | $1,000 | Black tee, white ink. LET'S BUILD IT line on the front, full Intuidy logo on the back. |
| Event production | $2,500 | Estimated 50 hours of work. |
| Food spread and dessert for 100 | $1,000 | Cap for the spread; dessert lands with the 7:30 block |
| Soft drinks and NA seltzer | $300 | No alcohol, decided |
| Signage, print, name tags, numbers | $300 | |
| Shooting and editing footage | $500 | Turn the night into something we can send |
| Contingency | $500 | Padding for whatever the room throws at you |
| Total | $6,100 |
Music runs as a playlist over in-house AV. Partner sponsorships can still offset any line: the food spread, the drink station, or the shirt run can each carry a presented-by credit.
The Brand
A strong call to action. It takes Nike’s famous line and makes it a builder’s. The Intuidy mark is the period — eight slices, an Easter egg at the end of the line. Black and white only.

Intuidy · Kansas City
Let's Build It
A night for Kansas City. Builders, operators, public leaders, thought leaders, and the people whose rooms other people listen to. One room, a shirt on the way in, a challenge on the way out.
The night
Not a sit-and-listen meetup. A room that builds in public. You check in, you get a number, you get the shirt.
- 5:00 Doors. Tee, drink, find your people.
- 5:30 Opening, then the challenge.
- 5:50 Panel: how we build, how we got here, where this goes next.
- 6:30 Breakouts. Five groups, real problems, advice in the room.
- 7:30 Food, dessert, expo tables, product screens, talk.
- 9:00 Close. The challenge one more time.
Who it's for
Kansas City people who make things happen. Builders shipping products, yes. Also operators, public officials, thought leaders, and anyone whose rooms other people listen to. You do not have to be shipping a product to belong here.
The challenge
If you got something out of tonight, tell the rooms you belong to about Intuidy. Wear the shirt. Ask the room. Send your people.
Practicals
- Free. Registration required. 100 in the room.
- A Let's Build It tee at check-in, food and dessert, a number that puts you in a breakout.
- Soft drinks and non-alcoholic seltzer. No alcohol.
- Hosted by Intuidy.
CTA: Save your spot. Do not put a registration URL on the page until Luma (or the chosen platform) is live.
