It's no secret that there are a lot of entrepreneurial initiatives going on in Kansas City: Google Fiber, the Kauffman Foundation, The Gigabit Challenge (just to name a few). Sometimes, we can't seem to keep up with it all. But even when things seem to get so hectic, so busy and so exciting, we still have to take the time to look beyond the Kansas City community to glance at the booming entrepreneurial movement that's happening throughout the Midwest. From Chicago to Omaha, St. Louis to Indianapolis.
But you didn't think we'd be talking about Des Moines, Iowa, did you?
This month, Des Moines will be a city hard to ignore. Not only is entrepreneurship making leaps and bounds in this growing Midwestern city, but Des Moines also has an upcoming event sure to blow the socks off of any Midwestern entrepreneur. It's called Thinc Iowa.
Thinc Iowa (October 20-21) will gather individuals from startups and established corporations across the U.S. for a day and a half of inspiration, idea generation and collaboration. It's a whole new perspective for the entrepreneurial community from the people behind other knock-out Midwestern events like Big Omaha.
For those of you who can't help but believe that Thinc Iowa may be just a podunk conference in the middle of nowhere...think again. With powerhouse speakers like Ben Silbermann (Pinterest), Scott Case (Startup America Partnership), Ben Milne (Dwolla), Douglas Olson (Microsoft) and many others, Thinc Iowa is changing the face of Midwestern entrepreneurship. According to the Des Moines Register, Thinc Iowa's goal is to unite startups and corporations--something that the Midwest needs.
Ready to start thinking big at Thinc Iowa? Register today! Tickets start at $199.00...and it will be well worth the investment. Take one day out of your busy startup week and get connected with some of the coolest entrepreneurs in the Midwest.
