When putting together yesterday’s event post, I overlooked two quality events taking place this week, one in Lincoln tonight and one in Kansas City tomorrow. Tonight there’s a presentation by entrepreneur John Moorhead of Free Air Collective, and tomorrow there’s a meet-and-great with the StartupBus team traveling from Chicago to Austin, Texas for South by Southwest Interactive.
Details from the events’ websites are below as well as links to where you can find more information. If you have an item to add to our event page, siliconprairienews.com/events, email us at info@siliconprairienews.com.

Lincoln – Dino’s Eastside Grill (2901 South 84th Street # 16)
Thanks to our sponsor
The right business deal is not just about evaluating the costs – often it is also about evaluating time, energy, social capital, and reputational risk. Join us March 8 when John Moorhead, founder of Triv140 and owner of Free Air Collective, will share the things he’s learned about evaluating Deals to find the Right Deals, and how to determine the role that YOU should take to improve your chances of success.

From Nick Seguin —
Hey everyone. A Startup Bus (check link to learn more) is on it’s way to Austin for SXSW from Chicago. KC is on the route and Wednesday March 9th they will stop by the Kauffman Foundation from ~ 5-8pm to refuel, recharge and visit. This is an extremely informal gathering that will take place in Kauffman Labs. We’d like to invite the local Startup Community to come and visit with the buspreneurs on their way to Texas! See you there.
