For this month’s Midlands Venture Forum (MVF) meeting, the regular Omaha attendees will be making their annual trek to Lincoln for a networking dinner at the Cornhusker Hotel (333 S. 13 St) on Thursday, November 19th. The topic of the evening will be “Innovation in Tough Economic Times – Strategies to Transform Outlook,” and the presentation will be made by Bradley Walker, founder and CEO of Nanonation Incorporated.
Unfortunately, I won’t be able to make the event as I’ve already committed to attending another event, but I’m glad to learn about Nanonation for the first time — they seem to be on the leading edge of digital merchandizing.
Here’s more information on Bradley Walker and the details of the event from MVF’s event page:
