The Exit Planning Institute (EPI) Kansas City Chapter is set to host its Business Owner Forum on September 2nd from 7:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. at the Sheraton Convention Center in Overland Park, Kansas. This event aims to bring together business owners and exit planning professionals for open, candid discussions about the real-world challenges and opportunities facing today's business owners.
According to Mark Kipp, President of EPI Kansas City, the forum is designed to offer actionable advice and real-life conversations without any product pitches or sales presentations. Attendees will explore strategies for value acceleration and operational growth, making it a valuable opportunity for entrepreneurs and executives navigating growth, mergers, acquisitions, or planning an eventual exit.
Business owners will gain insights from experienced advisors and business leaders to enhance their long-term strategy and decision-making. Meanwhile, exit planning professionals—including financial advisors and business consultants—will hear directly from Kansas City-area owners about the topics that matter most to them today. This two-way exchange is intended to foster a deeper understanding of the current business landscape and the specific needs of owners in the region.
The forum is part of EPI's broader mission to serve the educational and resource needs of professional business advisors. Since its formation in 2005, the Exit Planning Institute has become a leading provider of exit planning education, with its Certified Exit Planning Advisor (CEPA®) credential program being the most widely endorsed professional exit planning program in the world. The Institute equips advisors with the content, tools, and training necessary to engage business owners and become their most valued advisors.
For those interested in attending, more information and registration details are available on the EPI website. The event promises to be a practical and insightful morning for anyone involved in business ownership or advising, focusing on real-world solutions rather than theoretical concepts.
By facilitating these conversations, the EPI Kansas City Chapter aims to strengthen the local business community and help owners make more informed decisions about their companies' futures. The forum underscores the importance of proactive planning and the value of connecting with peers and experts who can provide guidance on complex business matters.
