TECHNOLOGY COUNCIL OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA
Mission
The
Technology Council of Southern California is the premier forum
for the region's technology leaders, providing events, connections,
information and resources to help technology companies succeed.
Fulfilling
the Mission
Founded
in 1991 as the Software Council of Southern California, the
Technology Council has a 18 year history of supporting technology
companies across throughout the region.
The
Technology Council develops targeted, content-driven programs
that encourage interactive discussions between presenters and
attendees, as well as two flagship events - VentureNet™
and the annual Industry Awards - that are regarded as among
the most influential in the region.
The Technology Council provides opportunities for executives
to meet and develop mutually beneficial relationships with people
that will make a significant difference in their ongoing corporate
and professional development, including both peers from other
technology firms and senior partners from some of the most highly-regarded
and well-respected professional services and capital firms.
The Technology Council is a resource for referrals, and disseminates
important industry information through the press, its website
and the SCribe newsletter.
