SPONSORSHIP IMPACT
For the past 24 years, The Conference on Technology Innovation has continued to attract approximately 400 business leaders, entrepreneurs, investors, innovators and elected officials statewide and beyond. The business opportunities resulting from the networking that takes place can be difficult to measure, but we have heard countless stories of people making connections that have opened doors. The type of people who attend this conference share a common passion for helping grow the state’s economy through technology and innovation, and you will meet people who truly want to help you.
