Technology Ball Gala: Return to the Future! Join Us for Our End of Season Celebration!
The excitement is building for the November 13Technology Ball Gala and our community is thrilled to be “returning” to in-person networking! Our annual black-tie Gala represents the culmination of our 2021 season, and we are looking forward to a beautiful evening of networking and celebrating the intersection of technology and philanthropy. At the event, our CIOs, CTOs, VPs of IT, etc., will celebrate and break bread together with representatives from the vendor community. The evening will begin with a VIP then General Cocktail reception, followed by a sit-down dinner, program and auction, and conclude with continued networking. We anticipate more than 50 IT Executives in attendance!
It is not too late to join us as a Technology Ball Sponsor! This year we are offering a full, 365 day sponsorship which will not only provide access to this year’s Gala celebration, but also will provide a full season of access to our 4 after-work networking receptions in 2022. The sponsorship packages begin at $5,500 with flexible payment terms available, including the option to spread payments over all 4 quarters in which the events take place.
One of the most anticipated elements of the Gala is the Executive Host Auction where our CIOs, CTOs, and VPs of IT, etc., are on the auction block, showcasing unique activities offered to the highest bidder with proceeds benefiting STEAAM Education (Science, Technology, Engineering, Architecture, Arts, Math). This year’s gala fundraising proceeds not only benefit our long time beneficiary University of Texas at Dallas, but also supports the efforts of a new partner we are showcasing at this year’s Gala, Women Leading Technology.
There is no time like the present to commence your CIO networking engagement, so this is the perfect time to sign up and join the Technology Ball family! Join us as we endeavor to “return” to the way things used to be as we Return to the Future at the 2021 Technology Ball black-tie Gala.
REMINDER: Even if you are not in attendance at the Gala, you can participate in the Live and Silent Auctions through proxy bids and digital bidding, respectively. Be on the lookout for our newsletter sharing the auction link in the days leading up to November 13!
