Kansas City Area Development Council 

Kansas City is a Midwest haven for business, innovation, culture and creativity.  As a Marketing & Events Intern, I spent the summer of 2017 familiarizing myself with the city and diving into the realm of economic development. KCADC celebrates every aspect of the region from established traditions to up and coming startups. I had the chance to learn and be a part of the work that goes into attracting new business and talent to the region. During my internship I assisted the Events Director with all KCADC events as well as created weekly social media content calendars, reported analytics, wrote and posted blogs to thinkkc.com and more. No two days were the same! I attended events all over town, networked with investors and on the weekends explored KC offerings with fellow interns. Below, I've boiled down a summer full of opportunity and excitement to the best of my ability. Take a look!
