You won’t want to miss the annoucement Thursday night. Join Silicon Prairie News for our meetup starting at 7:30 p.m. at Krug Park, where we’ll announce the next big speaker and gather for drinks and conversation.
Big Omaha tickets start at $399 for all attendees when they go on sale Friday at 11 a.m. Jump on this batch of early-bird tickets while they last at that low price. More details will be available on the Eventbrite site upon launch.
On Friday morning we’ll also announce our next slate of speakers as we launch the official BigOmaha.com site. Look for more speaker announcements in the coming weeks.
And though they’re the centerpiece, it’s not all about the speakers at Big Omaha. The parties you’ll attend each day and the free-flowing space at KANEKO provide incredible opportunities to network with your next collaborator, investor or mentor.

- “[A friend] convinced me to attend Big Omaha, and I now sit, think and smile because this conference was probably the most inspiring, beneficial and well-planned event I have ever attended. Every. Single. Detail.” — Big Omaha attendee
