Join us for pizza on The Prairie at the SPN Meetup, July 11

Omaha July 2, 2012 by Brittany Mascio

It's a party – a pizza party – and you're invited. Join us 7-9 p.m. Wednesday, July 11 for our next SPN outing. 

We're not saying this is the social event of the summer, but it very well could be the sauciest event you'll attend all season. We're partnering with Omaha's Volano Solutions and author April Kelly to host an old school pizza party from 7-9 p.m. on Wednesday, July 11 at the The Pizza Shoppe Collective.

At the Pizza Shoppe, we'll enjoy an eclectic and comfortable environment and take a few minutes to learn more about Volano Solutions, a four-year-old software startup, and their approach to launching a new product. Author April Kelly will also dish up some advice about personal branding from her book, "Spaghetti on the Wall." Between the two, they'll provide more than a few discussion points to kick off conversation with any and all.

Oh, and don't forget, this a true pizza party. We're serving up the finest -za and some of the best brews you can find in Benson. So, clear up those iCals, get ready to mingle and have a meal on us. RSVP below with your favorite topping!
