Speakers

Mark your calendars for the sixth annual C3KC conference March 23, 2023, at Union Station Kansas City. We will continue to deliver educational, thought-provoking panel discussions and bring together people from the civic, corporate, and community sectors to spark change for a better Kansas City. Our 2023 C3KC keynote speaker is New York Times bestselling author and investigative journalist, Amanda Ripley. Amanda writes about human behavior and change for the Atlantic, the Washington Post, and other outlets. She is the author of High Conflict: Why We Get Trapped and How We Get Out, The Smartest Kids in the World–and How They Got That Way and The Unthinkable: Who Survives When Disaster Strikes, and Why, and she is the host of the Slate podcast How To!
