It is a great time to be a techie in the Treasure Valley! The area is booming with lots of events and resources to engage and empower you in your career in technology.
Our good friends at Tech Boise are hosting their monthly meeting tonight at 5:30pm at the Boise WaterCooler.
You won't want to miss this great event! TechBoise will be joined by Jay Larsen, Founder and CEO and Rich Raimondi, Chairman of the newly formed Idaho Technology Council , as they share the story of their formation and, most importantly, their vision for the future of technology in Idaho.
Jay Larsen founded the ITC after the hugely successful Utah Technology Council, and brought some of Idaho's best tech companies on board. If you're unfamiliar with the ITC Board of Directors, there are some names on there you might recognize. They've put together a solid group of technology veterans, as well as some promising young founders, to further their mission:
"The Idaho Technology Council’s mission is to become the premier member-driven technology association dedicated to fostering the growth of technology companies in the state of Idaho, primarily in the areas of information technology, agriscience, and energy. The ITC provides a valuable forum for industry, research, educators, investors, and government throughout the state. It also advocates for creating a strong technology ecosystem and a high quality, high paid workforce. "
Join our friends at TechBoise tonight for their great event.
And don't forget! Girls in Tech Boise meets next week at the Boise Watercooler. Elizabeth Schierman, a Registered Patent Attorney for Dykas, Shaver & Nipper LLP, will chat with us about "What Innovators in Technology Should Know About Intellectual Property". It should be a very informative discussion. There will also be plenty of time for you to chat with other techie ladies and collaborate about the projects you are working on.
