Mike Smith, an international-level public speaker with local ties to the nonprofit world, will be the keynote for this year’s event.
Smith is cofounder of the nonprofit, Rabble Mill, based in Lincoln and Omaha.

Both Rabble Mill and AIM work to cultivate and retain talent in parts of the region where it often goes overlooked.
Life as a tech professional can be hard.
Not at Infotec 2021, conference organizers say, previewing a robust virtual digital event experience aimed at helping attendees grow professionally while connecting with other IT and web professionals in the heartland.
After successfully hosting Infotec 2020 in a virtual format due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the AIM Institute has leaned into the online conference delivery, which includes video networking and a virtual expo fair.
Indeed, four separate tracks covering emerging trends and key areas of interest for business leaders are available for attendees: Diversity, equity and inclusion; recruitment and retention, leadership and innovation; and self-optimization. (See the Infotec 2021 conference schedule here.)

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) A 40-foot-long shipping container in the parking lot of The Bay will soon be filled with a whole lot of green.
In partnership with Beyond School Bells, The Bay is launching The Greenery, a self-contained hydroponic farm housed in a repurposed shipping container. Members of Beyond School Bells and The Bay gathered with local leaders last week to officially launch the program.
Much like The Bay’s other youth-focused programs, The Greenery is designed to allow students access to engaging, hands-on activities in this case growing food.
