by Minnestar and Valerie Lockhart | at Minnebar 19 | 2:55 – 3:35 in Minnetonka | View Schedule

Minnestar has always been by the community, for the community — and as we rebuild and reimagine what’s next, your voice matters more than ever.

In this open conversation, we’ll share where things stand today — from events and operations to big-picture goals — and reflect on where we’ve been.

Most importantly, we’ll gather your ideas, hopes, and feedback to help shape what’s ahead.

What do you want to see more of? What’s missing? What would make Minnestar feel even more welcoming, inclusive, or impactful? This is your chance to weigh in, ask questions, and help steer the ship.

Whether you’re a first-time attendee or a Minnebar OG, we want to hear from you. Come help shape the next chapter of Minnesota’s longest-running tech community.
