Eastside's Annual Summit
Community Unity Leadership Summit 2026
Saturday, October 24
9:30a - 12:30p
KCKCC Technical Education Center
6565 State Ave, Kansas City, KS 66102, USA
See the work. Meet the people. Connect to what's next. This a free, public gathering that brings together residents, neighborhood leaders, entrepreneurs, nonprofit organizations, businesses, public officials, and community partners from across Wyandotte County. The Summit is a chance to step back and see the breadth of work happening across the Eastside — the people building stronger neighborhoods, the partnerships bringing ideas to life, and the leaders creating new opportunities for the future. Rather than focusing on one issue or one organization, the Summit offers a broad look at the people and efforts shaping our communities. Event Highlights: - Coffee & pastries starting at 9:00am - Inspiring speakers + community conversations - Free + open to all Wyandotte County residents
A Community Showcase
Back to the Center
A monthly community gathering hosted at the Quindaro Community Center, bringing residents, community leaders, organizations, and local partners together around the priorities and ideas shaping Northeast KCK. Each month, we focus on a different community-identified topic—from housing and food access to entrepreneurship, development, and neighborhood resources. Through presentations, conversations, panels, and connections with local organizations, Back to the Center creates space to learn, share ideas, build relationships, and identify opportunities for collaboration. Come as you are. Bring a neighbor. Be part of what comes next.
