About the Event
Nebraska Impact Wrapped is an invite-only briefing that will convene state senators, members of the executive branch and university leadership to explore Nebraska’s growing role in the innovation economy. We look forward to honoring one policymaker with the inaugural Nebraska Chamber Compass Award, recognizing outstanding service in shaping Nebraska’s economic future.
The event will spotlight real data and regional success stories to demonstrate the central role that public leaders play in defining the next generation. This event is about looking across sectors to celebrate statewide success and forecast what’s next.
We hope you will leave inspired, informed and aligned around the critical role you play in advancing Nebraska’s future.

This gathering is for Nebraska State Senators. If your schedule prevents you from joining, you may send one representative from your office. The event has limited capacity, so registration is limited to senators or their designated guest.
