2024-NEXT-Tech-Awards-Nomination-Banner.png

NC TECH, in partnership with Business North Carolina, launched the NEXT TECH Awards to showcase and celebrate North Carolina’s rising tech stars. NEXT TECH Awards will honor a selection of individuals who are critical and exceptional performers helping to grow our state’s tech and tech-enabled companies and organizations, but who — not being a c-suite executive — don’t often get recognized publicly. Individual winners will be celebrated during a reception on May 22 at the Durham Convention Center and will be profiled in the June issue of Business North Carolina.  

The awards look to honor contributors who go the extra mile, build products, grow revenue, support operations, and manage projects that propel businesses forward.  What all these individuals have in common is their exceptional business impacts, positive energy and attitude, and community engagement.

2024-Diversity-Summit-Event-Banner.jpg

Diversity is critical to the success of any workplace. It provides a wide range of viewpoints, experiences and perspectives and improves the bottom line. For NC TECH and its member organizations, it is not just what we do, but who we are.  

This one-day summit will explore DEI through a different lens to see what is possible when organizations harness the power of a diverse workplace. Regardless of where you or your company are on the DE+I journey, this event is a must attend. Projected attendance is 300+.

If you are interested in sponsoring the 2024 Diversity + Inclusion Summit, review the menu below and contact Tracy Sternberg.

Member Spotlight: Cloudaeris

Cloudaeris was born from the belief that operating a successful business is not mutually exclusive with doing the right thing for your customers.
