Tonight is the big night, and if you’re half as stoked as the Silicon Prairie News team, you’ll be joining us for the Big Omaha Opening Bash with the Kauffman Foundation at 8 p.m. at The Slowdown.

If you’re a Big Omaha badge holder, you’ll receive your pretty pink bling and official Big Omaha nametag during our pre-registration, 8-10 p.m. at the start of the party. (Registration begins at 8 a.m. Thursday if you’re unable to be there tonight). If you’re not an official Big Omaha attendee – no worries – this party is open to the whole Big Omaha community with an RSVP.

If its any indication from the Big Omaha logo, this year has already started the hashtagged conversation and  now will bring the buzz and excitement you’ve seen online to the opening party at The Slowdown. Moral of the story: you need to be there.

Thanks again to the Kauffman Foundation for their continued support of Big Omaha.
