Speakers:Bill Udell
Small town Nebraska born and raised, Bill Udell has spent the last couple of decades finding ways to build cool things with his buddies. In that time, his circle of “buddies” has grown and the “cool things” have morphed from building software platforms to building communities and ecosystems of software engineering, corporate innovation, and entrepreneurship.
Bill serves at COO of Don’t Panic Labs and is happily creating a groundswell of change and innovation in the Silicon Prairie ecosystem with his buddies at Don’t Panic Labs. He can be found regularly at community events or busily working in coffee shops and boardrooms to create opportunities for collisions of entrepreneurs, community leaders, and the ecosystem.
