There was much to cheer about at this week’s Silicon Prairie News Holiday Meetup at Saigon Surface.
Thanks to our sponsor
The modern Vietnamese restaurant, which is working to establish a reputation as a place for tech in Omaha, welcomed more than 60 members of the Silicon Prairie News startup and tech community for Wednesday’s night get-together.
Our thanks to Saigon Surface for hosting us for the night and to STEP Group for teaming with us to produce the event. Above all, thank you to the many who found time to join us during a busy winter season in the Prairie.
Check out a few of the best pictures from the night below, and don’t fret if you couldn’t make it out this time. We are gearing up for 2012 and getting ready to bring you some major events, including more meetups in Omaha, Des Moines and Kansas City in addition to our premier events Big Omaha and Thinc Iowa. Look for a complete 2012 Silicon Prairie News events calendar in the coming days.
If you have any feedback on how we can improve the meetups or an interest in becoming a partner for future meetups, please email Brittany, brittany@siliconprairienews.com. We’d love to see this activity continue to grow in our community. Also, if you missed the meetup on Wednesday or missed one of the Silicon Prairie News team members you were hoping to speak with, feel free to reach out to the team at info@siliconprairienews.com.
