As the technology industry authority for the state of Indiana, TechPoint has produced its Summit event since 1998. About 1,000 of Indiana’s best and brightest entrepreneurs attend workshops, panels, more than 13,000 sq. ft. of trade show floor, and presentations from nationally renowned keynote speakers.

Tech Summit ’08 begins the second decade of this annual event and the board of directors has chosen a new direction for the presentations and content. Whereas previous years dedicated significant time to evaluating the state of the technology industry in Indiana, the focus this year will be on the future—advancing entrepreneurship and innovation across the state.

Networking, Networking, Networking.
The Top Three Reasons to Attend Tech Summit ‘08

Years of event surveys tell us that attendees come to TechPoint's Tech Summit for many reasons, but that networking with peers in the technology industry is reason #1.

That's why we've built business networking components into every aspect of this daylong event.

ALL Tech Summit ’08 events will take place on the 13,000 sq. ft.  trade show floor—even the workshops, keynote speeches and networking luncheon, which creates more opportunities to interact with exhibitors and other attendees.

Exhibitor aisles will be themed for business networking. For example: if you are interested in meeting venture capitalists, spend some time in the aisle with the venture capital street theme.

The business networking luncheon will be a full hour when virtually every single attendee will be on the trade show floor for good food and great opportunities to make new contacts.
