Every year, hundreds of people gather together in the heart of Detroit for an unmatched evening of drinks, food, networking and celebration. The Premier Awards and Networking Reception is a celebration of community, collaboration and commitment to our region’s focus on technology.  Family and friends are invited to share in the excitement as we open the symposium to the public. Proceeds benefit the Michigan Council of Women in Technology Foundation (MCWTF), a non-profit foundation dedicated to correcting the growing gender disparity gap in information technology.

This year’s event will kick off with cocktails, hors d’oeuvres and networking, followed by a special keynote address. Attendees will be able to view exciting new technology during the second annual Techno Expo. (Stay tuned for a sneak preview of the exhibitors coming soon to the website!) The winners of the 2010 Midwest Collaboration Awards (MCA) and Corporate Commitment to Michigan (2CMichigan) will be honored at an awards presentation starting at 6:45pm. Following the awards presentation, the evening will commence with a networking reception. See the agenda below for more details.
