Congratulations to the winners of the 2025 Excellent in Tech Awards, held on September 26. Watch for more event photos, including photo booth shots, in the near future!

Springfield Tech Council hosted the Excellence in Technology Awards on Friday, September 26, at the White River Conference Center, attended by a lively crowd of over 300 with Nate Black serving as the emcee. The evening was full of finalist recognition and celebration as winners in 17 categories were announced, highlighting the area’s dynamic tech scene. Recognizing our peers at the Excellence in Technology Awards is essential to STC’s mission to unify and amplify the professional tech community in the Ozarks.

The event was made possible through the generous support of premier sponsor Arista Networks, photo booth sponsor HBS, award introduction sponsors Losh Network Services, eSCO Processing & Recycling, and CapstoneIT, as well as our enthusiastic 17 table sponsors.

“We are thrilled to gather the community again to honor and celebrate the outstanding talent and innovation in Springfield’s tech community,” said Emily Reed, STC’s executive director. “Our sponsors from outside Springfield shared with the audience that celebrations like this are rarely seen, and this event is truly a unique and commendable showcase of our region. STC is proud to bring it to our community.”
