Following our public Lunch & Learn featuring a fireside chat with Davyeon Ross and Matt Gardner, KU Innovation Park will host a private roundtable conversation with representatives from regional sports organizations. This invite-only session will bring together leaders from across the industry to explore shared challenges, emerging technologies, and opportunities for collaboration in the sports tech space.

This roundtable is just one of many events planned by KU Innovation Park leading up to the Dillons Sunflower Showdown on October 25. We’d love for you to join us for whatever fits your schedule. One of the companies pitching at the Oread Angels event on Friday, October 24, will be former KU basketball standout Landen Lucas, who will be pitching his new tech venture.
