The Technology Ball encompasses a unique series of networking gatherings that brings the technology community together. Proceeds from Technology Ball support initiatives to create future technology leaders through STEM partnerships in the social sector. Leading CIOs, CTOs, and VPs of IT serve as honored IT Executive Hosts, as they mingle with Senior-Level Representatives from Sponsoring Corporations, to generate new business relationships and strengthen existing ones. Technology Ball events typically boast ratios of one IT Host for every three-to-five attendees – a compelling ratio rarely achieved. The open networking environment brings target clients together and facilitates innovative collaboration and the creation of partnerships, often resulting in closed pipeline. 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.
