The Kansas City IT Symposium also believes in giving back to the community, $50 of every paid registration is donated back to local charities and tech initiatives. Over the past 7 years the KC IT Symposium has generated over $125,000 in community giveback. Not only does the event give back, but the Kansas City CIO Exchange also donates $5,000 back to the community as well.
"We felt it was important to start giving back to a community that has been very good to EFM. EFM has taken that philosophy across the country. We believe in paying our success forward and have made this one of the pillars of EFM. Good things happen to those who pay life forward whether in your personal life or business life. We choose to be that company and I choose to be that person." - Gary Peyton, VP, EFM Events
