Welcome to the Kansas City Freelance Network


Where KC entrepreneurs have gathered for over 20 years to exchange ideas, share advice, and connect resources in a relaxed networking environment

In 1990, Diane O'Byrne started her own marketing and sales coaching business at a time when freelancing and home-based businesses where still a rarity. Early on she found she missed the human interaction of a corporate atmosphere along with the usual year-end parties that are synonymous with working for a big company. In December of that year, she hosted a holiday gathering at her home and invited freelance advertising and marketing friends as well as other small business owners she knew. It was the foundation for an enjoyable, unpretentious networking group that eventually grew into the Kansas City Freelance Network (KCFN).

Our group has maintained its low-key, low-maintenance atmosphere for over 20 years now. The only things that changed: We’ve done away with the holiday party and moved from monthly get-togethers to quarterly lunches to accommodate everyone’s busy schedules.

KCFN isn’t like other freelance networking groups and we like it that way.

  • No pricey membership dues
  • No guilt attendance requirements
  • No formal programs or presentations
  • No mission statement or pesky by-laws
  • No board of directors
  • No reservations or advanced payments needed

We’re just a friendly, diverse group of talented folks that meet to discuss what’s going on in business and life. Members possess unique skill sets and range from artists, coaches, IT professionals, marketing consultants to outsourcing specialists. Many KCFN entrepreneurs have teamed up on particular projects or shared beneficial leads over the years. But it’s so much more than that—KCFN is a place to swap tips and tricks of the trade, discuss challenges and share in each other's businesses successes.

Whether you’re just starting out on your own or you’re a seasoned freelancer, we invite to come check us out! We meet the third Monday of each quarter (see calendar to the right) and order off the menu at Cupini's in Westport. Be sure to check back for upcoming dates or for location changes. Questions or want more information, just talk to Mark.
