Omaha is passing the torch to Des Moines this week in terms of startup events on the Silicon Prairie. After Big Omaha items dominated our event calendar last week, central Iowa is a hotbed of activity this week, with four events in three days to close the week. Kansas City is getting in on the fun, too, hosting Futurallia, an international business development forum, Wednesday through Friday.
Details from the event websites are below followed by links to sites where you can learn more. Find more upcoming events on our event page, siliconprairienews.com/events, and submit an event for consideration to info@siliconprairienews.com.
By attending Futurallia KC 2011, you not only get qualified meetings with serious businesses in your sector, but you also get an education in Global Business that could save you thousands of dollars.
Matt Kinley, senior vice president of Pappajohn Capital Resources and Equity Dynamics, will be the BIZ guest and speaker at the Business Insights and Networking Luncheon on May 18, 2011. Matt will discuss the outlook for raising equity capital from the investor’s point of view.
The Greater Des Moines Leadership Institute takes a look at the area’s burgeoning entrepreneurial ecosystem in this breakfast event. The event will be moderated by Mike Colwell of The Business Innovation Zone and will feature six panelists: Ben Milne and Charise Flynn of Dwolla, John LaMarch of Emerging Growth Group, Shane Reiser of Startup Weekend, Christian Renaud of StartupCity Des Moines and Geoff Wood of Silicon Prairie News.
The TAI TechBrew event is an informal gathering that brings entrepreneurs, technologists, business people and funders together to talk over a beer (aka “Lubricated Serendipity”).
