Tech oasis in the Midwest

Robin Byler, director of the region’s first and only technology showcase and expo, tech “IT” out, talks a bit about how the tech expo came to exist during the most recent economic downturn when companies couldn’t necessarily afford to send their IT staff to expos in larger cities like Las Vegas.  She discusses how the show impacts Springfield by allowing regional IT professionals to learn all about the newest tech developments without leaving home.

Also, Jason Klein of AITP of Southwest Missouri talks about the turnout and future plans for expansion of the expo.
