Back by popular demand the Tech IT Out Technology Showcase and Expo will be Thursday,
September 1th, 2011. We are still finalizing plans on the venue and securing IT presenters for this year’s
event. Last year we had over 250 IT professionals from the region attend the showcase and expo. This
is a first of its kind event for Southwest Missouri.
We continue to support the Mid-America Technology Alliance (MATA) and their vision to be a resource
for collaboration to attract, nurture, and promote the region’s technology economy. Together we strive
to provide the IT community with opportunities to network, gain education and become part of an
organization that works hard to provide an environment where IT professionals can learn about new
technologies that will help improve their companies efficiencies and help them grow as IT professionals.
