6:00 PM | CMC + KC: A Primer on Critical Materials Investing and Finance
Moderated by Katie Dixon, with Ashlynn Horras, Evan Absher, and Will Blankenship

Heard the words "critical materials" floating around Kansas City and wondered what it actually means in your life? This panel is for you.

Everyone is welcome — you'll walk away understanding why this region is becoming a serious player in the critical materials supply chain, and what that means for KC. But we built this panel with one person in mind: the financially-minded asking, "How does this actually touch my clients, my portfolio, and my city?"

The conversation opens with the big-picture economics of the critical materials industry and how KC is playing a major part. You'll hear what a successful critical materials investment strategy looks like from a KC-based investor, plus a look at financing the "missing middle" and the challenges and benefits of investing in hard assets.

From venture capitalist to curious citizen — if you've got questions, this room has answers. No prerequisite, no finance jargon left unexplained.

Stay tuned — one more session to be announced.
