Midwest Knowledge 

Management Symposium

2024 Cancelled

I am writing on behalf of Pioneer Knowledge Services to inform you of the cancellation of the 10th Annual Midwest KM Symposium that was set to take place on June 6 & 7, 2024 at Kent State Stark Campus Convention Center. We sincerely apologize for this cancellation and hope to reorganize the event again in the near future.

Sadly, the MidWest KM Symposium is cancelled due to the lack of registration. As a not-for-profit organization, registration fees were needed to bring this event to life. Without the necessary registrants, we are unable to move forward at this time. 

Thank you for choosing to support the 10th Annual Mid-West KM Symposium. We value your support and continued enthusiasm for our efforts.Once again, please accept our apology for the unfortunate cancellation of the 10th Annual Midwest KM Symposium. We sincerely hope to see you at one of our other upcoming events in the near future.

With heavy hearts,

Edwin and Apryl
