TRANSCRIPT
The Technology Ball encompasses a unique series of networkinggatherings that brings the technology community together. providing rare networking opportunities for leading CIOs, CTOs and VPs of IT (Executive Hosts) to mingle with Senior-Level Representatives from Sponsoring Corporations. The social setting allows participants to generate new business relationships while strengthening existing ones, and the open networking environment brings target clients together. Technology Ball events facilitate innovative collaboration and the creation of partnerships, often resulting in closed pipeline. Proceeds from Technology Ball support MentorNet and the organization’s STEM Education initiatives to create future technology leaders.
Many opportunities exist in the Technology Community to network in a business setting. Technology Ball, however, provides a one-of-a-kind opportunity to engage with this community in a social setting – while “giving back” through a common, philanthropic cause. www.TechnologyBall.com
