Session 0: 20 Years of Minnestar (Trivia Edition)
by Minnestar | at Minnebar20 | 8:50 – 9:30 | View Schedule
This year, we're doing something different.
To celebrate 20 years of Minnestar, Session 0 will be a trivia game show — mixing community trivia with stories from some familiar faces who’ve helped build this community over the years.
We’ll have OGs on stage — including Minnestar cofounders Ben Edwards and Luke Francl (👀 yes, you heard that right!) — sharing memories, milestones, and a few behind-the-scenes moments.
You’ll play along from your phone. Whether it’s your first Minnebar or your twentieth, it will be the perfect way to learn what the day is all about before it kicks off.
We always start the day together — and for our 20th, we’re making it count.
Minnestar
Minnestar is a nonprofit community organization that connects Minnesota’s tech ecosystem through free, inclusive, and community-led events. We’re best known for Minnebar and Minnedemo — spaces where technologists, founders, creatives, and curious minds come together to share ideas, demo projects, and support one another.
At Minnestar, we believe the best tech community is one that’s accessible, welcoming, and powered by the people in it.
