Learn and Discover at Tech Talk

Tech Talk is where Minnesota technology leaders share insights from the cutting edge of technology. Their impactful experiences will inform and inspire you.

This free quarterly event from the Minnesota Technology Association features concise 10-minute presentations from some of the brightest minds within our technology community. Each presenter will share their own unique story that illuminates their innovative work, a new discovery, an organizational breakthrough, or a personal achievement.

The audience will have the opportunity to ask questions during fast and fun “CatchBox” breaks in between presentations. We end the evening with an hour of networking and complimentary refreshments. Join us on November 2nd at the Science Museum of Minnesota!
