SAVE THE DATE! The 9th annual InnoTech Austin event is coming on Thursday, November 8, 2012 at the Austin Convention Center.

If you've attended InnoTech in the past, then you already know the amazing educational, hands-on demonstration and networking opportunities that abound in one, focused day at InnoTech. If you missed the 2011 event, don't worry...the 2012 program is just around the corner!

InnoTech is the region's largest business technology event comprised of educational seminars, Special Events (like the eMarketing Summit, specifically designed for marketing professionals, the Austin CIO Summit & IT Executive Awards, for top level IT professionals only), hands-on demonstrations at the InnoTech Exhibits and, of course, limitless networking opportunities (throughout InnoTech and at the many after-parties.)
