Hey there fellow Hub! Luis and Brad are pulling together the Kansas City 3D Hubs community for an event at the Sprint Accelerator on June 5th. This is a special event because it the first First-Friday event in the Crossroads. First Friday, if you’ve never been, is a great culmination of artist, creative and entrepreneurs (and the likeminded individuals they attract). This event, to me, is the perfect opportunity for us to work together to engage new customers, expose people to 3D Hubs, and talk about 3D printing… not to mention a great reason for all us Hubs to meet each other and share stories over beers. I’ve seen a great response already from other Kansas City Hub’s members and hope you’ll join us. It’ll also be a great chance for everyone to meet the great folks at the Sprint Accelerator and the startups who occupy the space. Please RSVP so we can offer the Sprint team estimated participation number’s, my direct email is birdie4bjc@gmail.com.
Electricity and alcohol will be abundant.

I’m putting that stuff together now. I should have all details ready over the next few days! Keep the questions coming though, it’s helpful during the planning process.
Sound like fun, if you need help planning let me know and I’ll do what I can.

Hey guys!! We’re a day away from our first meet up! I hope you’re all as excited as Luis and I. We’ve put together a meetup invitation copy, and would love for you Hubs to sign up (so we can gauge participation moving forward). Also, please share through your networks. We hope to have a great turnout! If you want to bring a printer there’s plenty of space… but defiantly bring some awesome prints to show off.

Also, I’ve been promoting this event to many people in the general public who I think would benefit from the 3D Hubs platform that just haven’t been exposed to the resource… and I’ve heard a significant demand for CAD designers. If you are an experienced CAD modeler you’re probably going to be fielding a lot of questions (Tom, Tim, Jonathan…)

Great work on pulling a fun First Friday together @ZcorpFullColour and @Wilbert! Cannot wait to read all about it and see your photos on Talk!
Bummer, I won’t be able to make this one as I’m out of town. I hope this becomes an on-going thing. I’d love to come!

We’re going to do them monthly. We’ll be changing locations each time though, to collectively help improve our networks and reach. Luis and I will continue to select locations that in some way provide value back to us as Hubs, so coming every month will be highly recommended!

Luis and I are excited to get everyone together tonight! Just as an update, the First Friday Block Party has been postponed. We’re still going to meet, however.
I would like to thank Brad and Luis for organizing the meetup at the Sprint Accelerator yesterday. I had a great time the meeting other hub members in the area. I look forward to the next meetup.
Thanks again @ZcorpFullColour and @Wilbert
