WordCamp Omaha – We Didn’t Coast

We wanted to thank you for making WordCamp Omaha a Success! We will be posting pictures from the event on the WordCamp Site sometime this week. To find out when they are posted follow us on Facebook Twitter MeetUp and our LinkedIn Group.

Again thank you for helping us make this a great success, see you in 2015!

Join us at Capitol & Brix!

Brix is changing the game in wine and spirits retailing. Combining three complimentary businesses together under one roof, Brix is truly a Wine and Spirits Experience. We decided to change the game even further by offering two opportunities to mingle with speakers, sponsors and participants outside of the WordCamp itself…

First, join us Friday night starting as 6pm at Brix (220 S. 31st Ave., Suite 3103). After our Speaker/Sponsor Dinner, we’re opening the venue for everyone with a cash bar and meet and greet experience on the patio.

Then, join us on Saturday night at CapItol Night Club (1011 Capitol Ave, Omaha, NE) at 5:30 pm for some more mixing and mingling… remember, you’ll need your name badge and ID to get into this private party!
