Springfield Tech Council
Tech Group Leaders Lunch
Invite Only
The Springfield Tech Council brings together tech group leaders each month to strengthen our community through collaboration.
At our Tech Group Leader meetings, we share updates on the latest initiatives, events, and programs driving innovation in the region. But these gatherings are more than information exchanges. They are opportunities for leaders from all corners of Springfield's tech ecosystem to find shared purpose, coordinate resources, cross-promote to wider audiences, and work together to amplify impact.
By strengthening connections between groups, we strengthen the community as a whole. Partnerships form, new leaders emerge, and possibilities open up to advance technology in the Ozarks. Whether you steer an established organization or want to get a new group off the ground, together we have the power to shape what's next for tech in Springfield.
