NEOSA launched Tech Week in 2011, with the intention to expand on the Best of Tech Awards and create additional awareness of the regional IT industry.  In 2012, we grew Tech Week to engage more stakeholders and in 2013 we expanded yet again with community partners.

As a result, we've seen incredible growth in Tech Week participation in three, short years: 

• 2011:  515 attendees
• 2012:  879 attendees
• 2013:  1,556 attendees

Community partners such as the Greater Cleveland Partnership, SIM - NEO, JumpStart and others have been key to this substantial growth.

Tech Week brings together entrepreneurs, educators, students, IT executives and others to connect, celebrate and grow our regional tech industry.

Our event series this year included:

Pitch Night with SIM        Crain's CIO of the Year Awards        Linking IT Talent to Opportunity

Perfecting Your Pitch        Spring IT Summit         Best of Tech Awards

Growing Tech (Talent)        NASA Space Apps Challenge        Virtual Job Fair
