2026 Building Connections Vendor & Small Business Resource Fair

This free event brings together small business owners, vendors, and local companies in one place. The day starts with a presentation series featuring workshops and discussions focused on helping business owners launch, expand, and sustain their ventures. You'll hear from experts about working with government agencies, Amazon, and other large organizations that purchase goods and services. In the afternoon, you're invited to explore the vendor fair itself, where local businesses will have booths showcasing and selling their products and services. Whether you're a parent interested in supporting local entrepreneurs, looking to connect with small business owners in your community, or simply curious about what Kansas City-area businesses have to offer, this is a welcoming opportunity to learn and shop. Admission is completely free for all attendees.
