WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — A national networking event for businesses, entrepreneurs and start-ups is coming to Wichita.

KWCH-TV reports that the program, called 1 Million Cups, is a weekly gathering that allows business owners, start-ups, or anyone with an idea they want to pursue meet and talk.

The program will be free and open to the public every Wednesday from 9 to 10 a.m. starting Feb. 10 at Wichita State University Old Town location. People in Wichita will present their ideas to the audience and then engage in a question-and-answer session.

The program started in Kansas City and is now in 80 cities across the U.S.

The program’s representatives say they have seen 1 Million Cups improve business life across the county, and they expect to see similar results in Wichita.
