An opportunity to connect, create, & celebrate

Innovation doesn’t happen by accident.

Innovation happens when ideas collide with pioneering people and are cultivated by creators, capital, and community. In 2017, the first Inside Outside Innovation Summit took place to build, foster, and grow these collisions. Since then, over 3,000 attendees, 100+ speakers, and 300+ startups have gathered in Nebraska to showcase innovation & entrepreneurship.

Connect, create, and celebrate with the people who are spearheading innovation and shaping significant developments in the Silicon Prairie and beyond!
