Innovation Festival 2024 A Success

Innovation Festival explored all corners of the bioscience industry on August 16 at Overland Park Convention Center. Scientists and artists alike presented their work, attendees engaged in meaningful discussions with exhibitors, Pink Boots brewers led participants through an immersive sensory experience, entrepreneurs battled off in the BioKansas Pitch Competition, and members of our community were recognized for their outstanding contributions during the awards dinner! 

From the BioKansas team, thank you to all of those who volunteered, gave a presentation, or attended. Most of all, thank you to our sponsors, without whom Innovation Festival would not be possible! View event photos here.
