As the community begins the process of digesting the ideas shared and connections made at Big Omaha 2011 we’d like to use this week to thank our sponsors, an amazing group of companies who made it possible for us to put on the event that was enjoyed by, and inspired, so many. 

A heartfelt thank you to the good folks at Microsoft BizSpark for sponsoring Big Omaha for a second straight year. Officially, they were the presenting sponsor for Thursday night’s The Hood Internet Concert at The Slowdown, but two of their team members, Brian Gorbett and Chris Bernard, were part of the entire Big Omaha experience.
