Tech Allies is impacting every corner of our community, from the children in the Tackle Tomorrow program to the underrepresented, early-career young adults in YearUp, the collegiate scholars at Huston-Tillotson and UT Dallas, and the future C-Suite professionals at Tech CXO Launchpad. Tech Allies is bringing together the heartbeat of the community – the allies we find in executives, sponsors, mentors, mentees, and innovative partners – to create a better, more connected technology industry.

Mike Santimaw
Chief Information Officer
TD Industries
I am proud to be part of the Tech Allies community. We have so many great relationships, and so much innovation happening all around us, that we can all be engaging in. Take the time to learn what Tech Allies is doing. There are so many exciting things happening in this group right now that no one should miss out on.

Tech Allies events are free from the typical pushy sales environment of other events. Tech Allies events offer an opportunity to engage with sponsors who may have a solution you’re interested in. The sponsor engagement is informal, welcoming and engagement with peers and sponsors is at your own discretion.

Jan Ross
Chief Information Officer
Ingenovis Health
Tech Allies is something truly special – a space where people are passionate about technology, innovation, and, most importantly, people, come together in meaningful ways. The relationships I’ve built through Tech Allies go far beyond networking. They’ve grown into valued professional connections and lasting friendships.
Technology Executives
Tech Executives are the driving force behind our community. They play a vital role in fostering innovation, mentoring future tech leaders, and supporting underrepresented students in STEM fields. Through dynamic, relationship-focused events, our Tech Executives drive meaningful change and advance the tech industry.
