2020 - Technology Ball
Transcript of 2020 - Technology Ball
The Technology Ball encompasses a unique series of networkinggatherings that brings the technology community together, providing rare networking opportunities for leading CIOs, CTOs, VPs of IT, etc. (Executive Hosts) to mingle with Senior-Level Representatives from Sponsoring Corporations. The social setting allows participants to generate new business relationships while strengthening existing ones, and the open networking environment brings target clients together. Technology Ball events facilitate innovative collaboration and the creation of partnerships, often resulting in closed pipeline. Net proceeds from Technology Ball fundraising support University of Texas at Dallas’ (UTD) STEM programs to pave the way for future technology leaders.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. www.TechnologyBall.com
Technology Ball is pleased to direct net proceeds and community visibility to our STEM education philanthropic partner, the University of Texas at Dallas. UTD is a local university with a profound focus on STEM, making them an ideal partner for the passion of the Technology Ball community. The University has a goal of bringing 100,000 STEM teachers into classrooms by 2021. Additionally, UTD has specific STEM objectives that include advancing STEM literacy and workforce preparation and growing learner confidence and interest in the performance of STEM related tasks. The Technology Ball partnership with UTD includes:- Funding Student Scholarships- Sponsoring career and intern fairs- Developing a custom mentor program- Technology Ball tools created by UTD students- Sponsoring Hack-a-Thons and other educational events- Judge/advise educational events such as Hack-a-Thons- UTD classroom guest speaker opportunities- And more ideas are being explored!

LEAD-IN RECEPTION SPONSORS
As CIOs, we are truly inundated with emails and meeting requests from technology vendors. It is difficult to find the time to pay attention to all of the outreach, but when a Technology Ball sponsor company wants to engage me, I strive to make the time because they have set themselves apart as a company supporting a STEM education cause which is meaningful to me.
