Highlight Midwest… a swindlr recap.
Holy twitter everyone… what an amazing event. We first and foremost want to thank Zach Cobb and Chris Culbertson of Ideas and Angles. These guys are now great friends of ours and hooked us up at this event put on by the Kauffman Foundation.
It was crazy for us to see such an amazing turnout at a “social media” event in Kansas City. Companies came from all around the midwest to present and attend this event. It was shocking to see all of these other people trying to take over the world just like us. Being able to connect on a personal level with other people who are bulldozing their own path was unreal.
To me the conference was wild, crazy, all over the place, chaotic, and loud… everything I hoped that it would be. We loved every second of it and hope that there will be another Highlight Midwest soon!
We had a few guest video Intro’s to the evening session at the Kauffman Foundation. You can watch these below:

Thanks again to everyone for making this event a monster success.
In other news, our friends at Silicon Prairie News, are hosting an event in May called Big Omaha. We are super pumped for this and can not wait to attend. Gary Vaynerchuck has already been confirmed, so that is worth the 3 hour drive right there. More info to come soon.
