What’s in Store for Des Moines?
Don’t let Des Moines’ polite people and little big city atmosphere
fool you – it’s home to a tech savvy, hard workin’, ass kickin’ crowd
of creative workers with opportunities to spare. As local social
networking consultant Nathan Wright puts it: “Des Moines is the
greatest city in the world because you can make epic shit happen here,
period.”
The Whuffaoke crew will help anchor Advance Week: a week dedicated to
collaboration, inspiration and Moving Forward. A social meetup
featuring a few guest speakers and Whuffaoke will make the evening
memorable.
The Ambassador
Daniel Shipton is an entrepreneur and leader who is not afraid to
carve out his own destiny. He is passionate about creating usable
technology and engaging people in digital and real life communities.
