We're back for another rendition of KC Remotetable!

KC Roundtable is KC's premiere breakfast group for 20 to 30-something entrepreneurs. Make your breakfast and coffee at home prior to 7:30 AM and hop on to understand how everyone is dealing with the various restrictions, remote work, and essential work, during this pandemic.

We can discuss the usual: Recent wins, struggles, and what resources are out there in the world.*

Our mission is to:
- Focus on relationship building; not lead generating
- Facilitate collaboration, openness, transparency, learning and teaching
- Establish an entrepreneurial network
- Fill the void of not having the water cooler

...

Every Thursday, the members of Hammerspace gather to socialize, network, and meet new members of the space. We welcome the community at large to come down during this time to explore the workshop, check out all of the tools, fabrication equipment and work space made available to HammerSpace members, and ask questions of our community of Hammerspace users.

There is plenty of off-street parking, a kids playroom available for tiny makers, and the evening is always the origin point of new and amazing creative ideas.

Tours are led every 30 minutes for those curious about the tools and capabilities of the facility and staff. This is a free event, open to the public.

Life is changing daily. Most organizations experience growing challenges to enhance IT resiliency and business continuity, reduce operating costs by driving efficiencies, proactively address new cybersecurity risks, and meet the changing needs of digital customers and remote employees. The common denominator in meeting these challenges is data and analytics.

Leading companies are turning decision-making into an industrial process – integrating data gathering, analytics and modeling – to make business decisions with ever-improving accuracy. Connecting and securing this data lifecycle is foundational to scaling data-driven decision-making with AI. IBM and Cloudera make this possible and more with Cloudera Data Platform that manages and secures the data lifecycle in any cloud or data center.

IBM and Cloudera deliver an enterprise data platform for hybrid cloud, powered by the connected data lifecycle, to build mission-critical and high value applications once, and run them anywhere. Cloudera's next generation data platform is the industry's first enterprise data cloud, leveraging Red Hat OpenShift for hybrid cloud deployments that deliver cloud native agility across public and private clouds.

Join us on June 11th and accelerate your journey to hybrid cloud and AI.

Secure your seat today.

This event has a $5.00 fee, please see: https://midwestcommunityday.com/
for registration, and session information. You must be registered and have a valid EventBrite ticket to attend this virtual conference.

AWS Community Day | Midwest is an annual one-day, user-run AWS technical conference that is planned, organized, and delivered by AWS user group community leaders (much like a "Meetup of Meetups"). The goal of the Community Day is to facilitate the exchange of information amongst the AWS user community. The presentations are all given by speakers who are fellow AWS users sharing knowledge with their peers.

In light of the current situation, we have decided to make the AWS Community Day | Midwest 2020 a virtual event. We hope you can join us to create a unique and valuable experience together!

We love Web Development and all things PHP. Our meetings are often a little free-formed, but we shoot for this schedule:

6:00pm - Mingling / Meet and Greet

6:15pm - Lightning Talk:
* Last Month in PHP

6:30pm - TBA

If you are interested in speaking or would like to suggest a future topic please suggest one: (http://www.meetup.com/kcphpug/suggestion/)

All Developers and Non-Developers Welcome!

We understand Web Developers often come from all backgrounds, and many work in more languages than PHP. Whether you're curious and just starting out, dabble in PHP on the weekends, write custom PHP on a daily basis, work in a framework like Symfony, Laminas, Laravel, Slim, Laravel, CakePHP or customize CMS products like WordPress, Drupal or Joomla; our goal is that you will find something new, useful and thought provoking.

Park in any visitor space in the parking garage and enter the main building from the west. Follow the signs for PHP User Group and turn right at the security desk. Click here for event
