“Because it’s going to be awesome” – while an accurate answer – may not fully explain why you should lock in your ticket to the Greater Omaha Young Professionals Summit on March 5. So, for our tenth anniversary, we’re laying out ten reasons to attend – plus one more for good measure. The theme this year? The CORE! Develop You. Develop Us. Develop Growth.

Alright, let’s do this thing:

11. We’re all about giving you more: more connections, more personal and professional development, more impact – and so much more than a traditional top ten list.

10. Some events have one keynote guest; we have three – Baratunde Thurston, CEO and co-founder – Cultivated Wit, Shabnam Mogharabi, CEO and executive producer – SoulPancake, and Frank Warren, sole founder and curator of the PostSecret Project.

9. It’s about developing you with professional development and relationship building, all while developing your personal brand.

8. If you’re at the YP summit, it means you’re not at…

7. It’s about developing us by learning how we can contribute to the Greater Omaha community, create impactful partnerships and implement innovative ideas.

6. We’re serving breakfast this year – and breakfast is, without a doubt, the most important meal of the day. Lunch lovers, don’t worry – that’ll be served, too.

5. It’s about developing growth by exploring ways to harness the power of STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts and math) and impact economic growth in the region.

4. After pulling a nickel from their ears, you’ll be able to regal your grandkids with stories about how you were there…

3. You’ll be the headliner at the CenturyLink Center Omaha along with fellow young professionals, change makers, and business and community leaders.

2. We have an Innovator Fair, showcasing cool, creative and tech savvy things popping up in Greater Omaha. An adult science fair, if you will.

1. It’s going to be awesome.
