COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa (KMTV) — The Heartland Developers Conference has been running for about two decades, but this is the first year it's been held in Council Bluffs.

Pottawattamie County Special Deputy Anthony Kava, known for his online investigative work, was the keynote speaker on Tuesday. He featured prominently in a Netflix documentary and Dateline NBC special.

AIM President and CEO Dala Alphonso says there is a shortage of tech talent in the Midwest and part of AIM's mission is to close that talent gap.

KMTV is delighted to be a media sponsor for this year's conference.
