Located in the heart of the Midwest, Omaha located just about 7 1/2 hours from Denver and Chicago has a lot to offer!  The BIG Omaha event will take place in the Old Market area of Downtown Omaha which is just 5 miles south of Eppley Airport.

The main event will take place at KANEKO. Located at 1111 Jones in the Old Market, the facility was born out of artist Jun Kaneko’s desire to nurture the creative spark inherent in all of us. It will serve as an excellent place for BIG Omaha attendees to listen, learn, and colloborate.

On Thursday evening, Gary Vaynerchuk will kick things off at an event at Slowdown. Named “Club of the Year” by Esquire Magazine in 2008, Slowdown is owned by Saddle Creek records and features a mirrored bar, comfortable lounge chairs, and terrific sight lines provided by balconies that overlook a large, sunken floor in front of the stage.
