A near-capacity crowd filled The Slowdown on Wednesday night to kick off Big Omaha 2012 with an event that featured beverages, breakdancing, badge decoration … and plenty of other enjoyable things that don’t fit this half-baked attempt at alliteration.
Before taking in a day of talks today at the KANEKO, conference-goers and a large contingent of other guests gathered to get (re)acquainted at Big Omaha’s Opening Bash, sponsored by The Kauffman Foundation.
