Last week, I had the privilege of photographing OTA 2014 in Sioux Falls at The Washington Pavilion. It was an action packed day filled with engaging presentations from world class speakers, interesting conversations and overwhelming enthusiasm for the creative and entrepreneurial spirits in the South Dakota, North Dakota and Minnesota regions. I had a few opportunities, in between making photographs, to let my camera rest for a moment and soak up some of the incredible stories and insights that came from the stage. Congrats to everyone involved on throwing an inspiring and successful event.

"Over 1,500 people have attended OTA events during the past four years, and that number continues to grow. Add to that the relationships we've developed with over 50 global leaders in technology, entrepreneurship, community building, charities, branding, marketing, social media and movements, and the impact OTA makes in this region is clear."
