We’d like to personally invite you to join us for a North Idaho Stakeholder Roundtable, hosted by the Idaho Technology Council (ITC).
The Idaho Technology Council is a membership organization committed to increasing awareness of a thriving technology ecosystem statewide. We are dedicated to fostering an innovative tech community in Idaho by acting as a catalyst that brings together leaders, drives collaboration across all industries, and advocates for tech growth.
As a nucleus of thought leaders, innovation, and tech advocacy, we empower government, industry, and reinvestment. Our mission is to position Idaho as a premier tech destination by attracting tech companies and talent, driving educational support and policy, convening tech leadership, and initiating conversations on emerging topics.
We are committed to provide opportunities for leaders like you to gather, connect, and help shape how ITC can better support and amplify the incredible momentum happening right here in North Idaho.
