A Note from the Board {Contact_First_Name}, It was great to see such a large crowd at our Technologies to Watch Showcase this month! I enjoyed checking out all of the exhibitors and their up and coming technologies. This is definitely one of our favorite events of the year and we look forward to putting it together next year! Next month we will be hosting our Annual Summer BBQ. We'll be at Constitution Yards this year and there will be tons of games, drinks and food, so don't forget to dress casual!
