A little holiday break won’t slow events down on the Prairie, so after you’ve finished one of the last grill-outs of the summer, look forward to a week full of events.
Tuesday is the start of Omaha Creative Week so make sure to check out omahacreativeweek.com for the events around the city. On Wednesday, Des Moines will feel the artistic love this week when BitMethod hosts a Design+Tech presentation featuring Jeremy Harrington.
Also on Wednesday, the Heartland Developers Conference will kick off in Omaha. The following day will see TechBrew Des Moines at Dos Rios. Also on Thursday evening, the Greater Omaha Young Professionals will host an Omaha After Work event at the Lucky Bucket Brewery in LaVista.
The week will close out with the BarCamp Omaha opening party on Friday followed by an all-day BarCamp on Saturday. And later that day, Oxide Design will invite the community out to celebrate the release of “Letterhead + Logo Design 12,” Oxide’s first book.
