We’d like to invite you to join us for a roundtable discussion about leadership in technology innovation hosted by the Idaho Technology Council.
The Idaho Technology Council was started 12 years ago in Boise by a group of Tech CEO’s to become a forum to share ideas and common problems. The group evolved to sub-groups in software, raising capital, policy advocacy in the Legislature, in education and workforce training and others. We are dedicated to fostering an innovative tech community in Idaho by acting as a catalyst to bring together leaders, foster collaboration across tech companies, and advocate tech company growth in Idaho. The ITC hosts monthly networking events, conferences, tech expos, and award Galas in addition to programs for workforce development, attracting investment in innovation, and assisting tech students with support services. The ITC now has a vibrant presence in Idaho Falls as they hosted roundtable discussions and facilitated a successful VIP Stakeholder meeting and full day Tech Expo in March.
We’ll meet on Thursday, May 29 at 3pm at
Intermax Networks
Evergreen conference room
7400 Mineral Drive
Suite 110
Coeur d’Alene
We look forward to a robust conversation among CEO’s, senior management in engineering, technology, sales and marketing about how a local ITC can amplify the tech momentum around our area.
