OHTec is an industry-led, industry-driven membership organization dedicated to furthering the growth and development of our region’s technology-based businesses. Tech Week is an annual initiative to support, celebrate and engage the local tech community. The original intent was to expand upon the Best of Tech Awards and to increase awareness of the IT industry in Northeast Ohio. Since then, OHTec has expanded their efforts by developing new partnerships to include programming that supports entrepreneurs, executives, students, educators and other stakeholders of the IT industry. It’s 12 days of tech events you don’t want to miss!
