In fact, the city played host to two large events in the startup community. Each May, more than 500 entrepreneurs and investors gather in Omaha for Big Omaha, a two-day event featuring prominent entrepreneurs who have set awesome examples on both a national and even international scale. Startup Weekend also takes place in Omaha with the goal of, as NebraskaEntrepreneur.com explains, successfully launching a brand new business in 54 hours.

So reading the whole article.... Is our city name Omaha or Ohama? And maybe you should be more specific, this article is about technology companies, IE: IT Jobs, Yahoo, Google etc.
