The microsummit is a half-day of conversations focused on the innovators, industries and organizations shaping our region's future.
This isn't a technology conference.
It's a conversation about what’s happening across Northeast Nebraska today, from manufacturing floors and family farms to startups, classrooms and growing businesses.
You'll hear from leaders representing:
• Manufacturing and industrial innovation
• Artificial intelligence and automation
• Agriculture and agribusiness
• Energy and infrastructure
• Entrepreneurship and startup growth
• Workforce development and education
Featured sessions include:
• The Modern Industrial Economy: How Northeast Nebraska Manufacturing is Evolving
• Built Here: Founders, Ecosystems & Scaling in Northeast Nebraska
• AI in the Real World: Agriculture, Automation & the Future of Work
Whether you're a business leader, entrepreneur, educator, economic developer, technology professional, student or community stakeholder, you'll leave with new perspectives, practical insights and valuable connections.
The future isn't being built somewhere else.
It's being built here.
