The 48-state road trip with a mission to help people bring their ideas to life arrived in Missouri today to start an eight-day, four-city tour in the Silicon Prairie.

We first covered the IdeaMensch road trip, #IM48, last week, but since that time, the Los Angeles-based blog and events company has released details.

IdeaMensch makes its first two stops this week. Its four-person crew hosts an event at Think Big Partners in Kansas City on Thursday and at our headquarters in Omaha on Friday. On August 7, it hosts an event at Jasper Winery in Des Moines and the following day at the Sioux Falls Design Center in Sioux Falls S.D. The events, which run from 6-9 p.m., present a lineup of entrepreneurs who will share their story and field questions from the audience.

Check out the details below for speaker names, venue addresses and links to purchase tickets. For more on IdeaMensch and its mission, see our post: “IdeaMensch events coming to KC, Omaha, Des Moines and Sioux Falls“.
