On March 29, the 2025 Nebraska Opportunity Exchange (NOE) Annual Conference brought together small business owners, procurement professionals, and industry leaders from across the state for a full day of inspiration, education, and meaningful connections. Held at the La Vista Conference Center, the event buzzed with energy from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., filling every corner of 12520 Westport Parkway with the sound of collaboration and opportunity.

The conference featured dynamic keynote speakers, interactive panels, and engaging breakout sessions tailored to help entrepreneurs and professionals elevate their impact. One of the highlights of the day was the reverse trade show, where business owners had the chance to present directly to procurement officers and gain immediate, actionable feedback. Live business pitches captivated the audience and opened doors for future partnerships and growth.

Workshops throughout the day were designed to educate, empower, and connect attendees with tools and resources to help them thrive. Whether making a new connection or learning from an industry expert, every guest walked away with something valuable.
