MONDAY, november 3

Networking Event at The Kiewit Luminarium, 345 Riverfront drive, Omaha

We couldn’t be more excited about this year’s networking event, to be held on November 3, 2025, at the Kiewit Luminarium on Omaha’s reimagined RiverFront. The Kiewit Luminarium is home to 100+ interactive exhibits and is a place for people of all ages. This state of the art science center blends technology with creativity and connection—with a vibrant atmosphere designed to spark curiosity and collaboration. With sweeping views of the Missouri River and a vibe that shifts from family-friendly by day to immersive and electric by night, we think it’s the perfect backdrop for bold ideas and big conversations. Learn more about the Kiewit Luminarium here.
