This Summit isn't just another conference.

It's where Idaho's technology ecosystem comes together to build what's next. It's where INL researchers meet entrepreneurial founders, where Fortune 500 leaders connect with startup builders, and where community-driven innovation transforms from concept to commercial reality.

Because when Idaho's tech community collaborates across sectors, everyone wins. The research becomes more practical. The solutions scale faster. The innovations actually serve Idaho's needs. And the future becomes something we're all invested in building together.

Presented by the Idaho Technology Council
Building Idaho's technology capacity through collaboration, innovation, and community-driven growth.
