Hello! 

 

May was certainly an exciting month! If you missed the third annual IMPACT Award Luncheon, you can

still enjoy some aspects of it virtually.

 

The PDF of the event program can be viewed by clicking HERE, and the three finalists' videos (as well as the bloopers) can be enjoyed by clicking HERE.

 

We've captured the article by the Fort Worth Business Press, as well. And, if you haven't already, we invite you to "like" us on Facebook.

 

Remember: just because the luncheon is over, that doesn't mean that you can't find ways to get involved with us! We are kicking off a new program called TECHNest, which is a perfect opportunity for technology entrepreneurs to connect, learn and grow. You can read more about that new program below.  

 

Finally - our programs our year-round; thus, our sponsorships are as well. Please contact us to find out how you can support the growth of technology companies in the North Texas area by supporting TECH Fort Worth.
