What Is Startup Drinks?

A simple concept: Startup culture in cities around the world gathers around a bar to have a pint and discuss what they are working on, what they need help with and what they can do for each other.

Who Should Attend?

Existing or aspiring entrepreneurs of all types and ages

Silicon Prairie News (5018 Leavenworth Street)

Silicon Prairie News is turning two and we want to celebrate!

For those that remember, last year we teamed up with BrightMix, who was celebrating their second birthday, and held our inaugural summer ice cream social at our shared office at 5018 Leavenworth Street. It was a wonderful time for all who attended!

Now that we’ve made it through our first couple of years, we’ll be celebrating once again. Join us for the Silicon Prairie News & BrightMix Second Annual Ice Cream Social on Friday, August 6. Festivities kick off around 4:30 p.m. and end promptly at 2 a.m. (to reflect our city’s updated closing times).
