2016 Event Brochure

After a successful concept launch in 2013 and Founders’ Dinner in 2015, the Dallas-based Technology Ball team is pleased to host the 2016 Silicon Valley Technology Cocktail on the evening of Wednesday, April 20.

The unique Technology Ball format brings the technology community together, providing rare opportunities for leading CIOs, CTOs and VPs of IT (Executive Hosts) to mingle with Senior Level Representatives from Sponsoring Corporations. The social setting allows participants to generate new business relationships while strengthening existing ones, and the open networking environment brings target clients together and facilitates innovative collaboration and the creation of partnerships, often resulting in closed pipeline. Proceeds from Technology Ball events support MentorNet and the organization’s STEM Education initiatives to create future technology leaders.

Many opportunities exist in the Technology Community to network in a business setting. The 2016 Silicon Valley Technology Cocktail, however, will provide a one-of-a-kind opportunity to engage with this community in a social setting – while “giving back” through a common, philanthropic cause. The Technology Ball team looks forward to hosting a full-scale Silicon Valley Technology Ball Gala in 2017.
