This includes large ad agencies, small design shops, large corporations, small mom 'n' pop shops, non-profits, start-ups, and anything and everything in between.

The Bite-Sized Business Mixer: Speed Network Your Noon
Mazuma Credit Union, 7260 W 135th St., Overland Park, KS, USWelcome to the July 2026 edition of the FX Un-Presentation Series: a high-speed "social lab" designed specifically for Kansas City savvy solo pros.
We’ve engineered a high-efficiency matrix where long-winded introductions are banned and the "Un-Lunch" is the catalyst for connection.
This isn't just a meal; it’s a tactical strike on the standard networking model.
To keep the energy high and the connections high-impact, we only have 30 seats available. This is a tight-knit, dynamic session for the independent pro who knows that "D.I.Y." doesn't have to mean doing it alone.
No boring speakers. No time-wasters. Just 90 minutes of interactive creative synergy.
- 11:30 a.m. | Fuel up with mess-free handheld bites
- 11:50 a.m. | The Noon Network Engines Ignite
Boredom Bypass: zero dry small and instant connection - 12:45 p.m. | Cool down with casual mingling to finish eating, lock in contacts, and follow up on the best conversations
Bring your favorite form of business card and your best anecdotes and highlights.
Ready to bypass the small talk? Grab one of the 30 spots available before the "Sold Out" sign goes up!
Promptness is appreciated, and advanced registration will guarantee that your seat is available for this one-of-a-kind experience.
Learn more and RSVP on Eventbrite by 5 pm on July 20th.
