2nd Annual Celebration of Entrepreneurship Gala
POSTPONED TILL FALL 2023

A Night of Celebration

 

For the 2020 Gala, Honorary Chair, John L. Hoich, and Co-Chair, Carole Sprunk, brought together the UNO and Omaha community for an evening of fun, food and philanthropy to celebrate and support young entrepreneurs, students, startups and programs that change lives and strengthen our community.

This playful and fun-spirited event was unlike anything you have attended!

The evening started at 5:30 p.m. with a silent auction to raise funds for the many programs that provide training, scholarships and startup funding to UNO entrepreneurs as well as to numerous social ventures in the community.

Dinner and entertainment began at 7:00 p.m. Many surprises are planned to entertain you!

Award Nominations

A brief and light-hearted awards ceremony will follow, with recognition not only for student awards, but also awards for UNO alumni.  Did you know that more companies have been started by UNO alumns than from any other university?  This event is the perfect opportunity to network, reconnect and celebrate the entrepreneurial achievements of our alumni in four categories:


High-Growth Business


Social Ventures


Outstanding Female Entrepreneur Alumna


Outstanding Male Entrepreneur Alumnus

You’re invited to MWEC 2022!

Ticket Holders are invited to stop by any portion of the Midwest Entrepreneurship Conference, held on April 1st and April 2nd,  for free.
