That’s all she wrote. We appear to have milked every last drop from the content cow that is Big Omaha. With the publication of the final post from our Big Omaha Backstage Pass series on Monday, we have provided an exhaustive look at the energy and emotions, the ideas and insights, the sights and sounds of our flagship premiere event. 

That timing works nicely because, as luck would have it, by the end of this week we’ll have another premiere event from which to bring you high-quality content. On Thursday and Friday in Des Moines, we’re holding our inaugural Thinc Iowa conference, and you can expect us to provide the same extensive coverage of the event — both during and after — as we did for Big Omaha. 

But before we get consumed looking forward to Thinc Iowa, let’s take one last look back at Big Omaha 2011. Below, in the order the speakers presented, is a rundown of all the presentations from this year’s event, complete with links to video and recaps of talks and, in many cases, those Backstage Pass interviews.
