Cedar Falls is the epicenter of action on the Silicon Prairie this week, with a pair of functions scheduled there Thursday evening. Folks in the Cedar Valley can commence their Cinco de Mayo at the Technology Association of Iowa’s TechBrew from 5-7 p.m. and then migrate down Main Street for Dwolla’s Crash Party, which kicks off at 7.
For more on what’s happening on startup events across the region, check out the new, expanded StartupDigest for the Silicon Prairie. Silicon Prairie News is teaming up with what was formerly known as StartupDigest Kansas City — a publication curated by Silicon Prairie News contributor Willis Jackson — to keep folks updated on startup-specific events not only in Kansas City but also in Des Moines in Omaha.
If you’d like to recieve Silicon Prairie StartupDigest, you can subscribe at startupdigest.com. In the meantime, Silicon Prairie News will continue to publish these weekly events posts, which will contain events of interest to the larger creative community in addition to startup-related events.
Details from the event websites are below followed by links to sites where you can learn more. Find more upcoming events on our event page, siliconprairienews.com/events, and submit an event for consideration to info@siliconprairienews.com.

Thursday, 7 p.m. – Cedar Valley Dwolla Crash Party
Cedar Falls – Indulgence (305 Main St.)
Spawned by a tweet about getting the CV involved and excited about Dwolla, we are going to be throwing an event.
This is the idea!
- Bring together Dwolla users.
- Celebrate the killer work being done by Far Reach in CF.
- Give you a merchant to use Dwolla with.
- Meet really, really, really smart people in the tech world.
- Demonstration of how Dwolla works for consumers and merchants.
Then, we’ll have T-shirts and then we’ll party for a bit. It will be awesome.
