Videos featuring Charles Best of DonorsChoose.org (above) and the 13 other speakers of Big Omaha 2012 will soon be released on Silicon Prairie News, thanks to the support of Microsoft BizSpark.

With another event freshly entered in the annals of SPN history now is the time to remind you that you don't need to wait 12 months to experience more of Big Omaha. Thanks to the support of Microsoft BizSpark, a major sponsor of Big Omaha 2012, we'll be releasing video of the 14 presentations delivered on Thursday and Friday.

BizSpark has been a strong supporter of our events and blog these past few years, and we owe them a tremendous debt of thanks. If you're unfamiliar with BizSpark, it's one of the most notable and successful programs run by a large corporation with the specific goal of helping startups succeed. We use it at Silicon Prairie News and we encourage you to check it out, as well.

Behind the production of the video series made possible BizSpark is our live-streaming partner Evolve of Des Moines and our video partner Three Pillars Media of Lincoln, Neb. We teamed up with the two companies to produce a live stream of the event, as well, which was presented by Hayneedle.

While you're waiting for the videos to be released, check out the 14 speech recaps:
