Matt mentioned doing another in April and also trying to get one in Lincoln. A great time to do one in Lincoln could be the evening of March 26th. That is the day the New Ventures World Competition kicks off and after the Heartland Conference for Free Enterprise.

This could bring in more students from UNL and the others that are coming for the competition and the conference pulls in other small business professionals. The Chamber also has a business after hours event that may be near by. I also see that UNL is having their Entrepreneurship Hall of Fame dinner that evening until 8:30 (perhaps too late to help).
