SPN hosted its first meetup of 2014 in Omaha on Thursday evening at Krug Park in Benson.

On Thursday evening, more than 100 members of the Omaha startup community joined the Silicon Prairie News team for our first meetup of 2014. We also took the opportunity to announce that Twitter co-founder Evan Williams will be speaking at this year’s Big Omaha.

The night began soon after Omaha’s inaugural Event Draft, which was held just down the street at Aroma’s Coffeehouse/402 Collective in Benson. Folks from the Event Draft filtered down Maple Street to join us at Krug Park to continue conversations of startup community building.

A big thanks to all who joined us on Thursday night—we can’t wait to see you again soon!
