About Technology First

In a world where technology is constantly changing and advancing, Technology First was founded with one objective: to connect, strengthen, and champion the technology community.

Since 1997, Technology First has been committed to building a community of leading-edge technology professionals. We provide a forum where thought leaders gather to engage and connect. As a result, they grow their businesses, themselves, and the future of technology.

For our members, we make a meaningful difference both professionally and personally. We believe in the power of connection.
