SOMERSET, N.J. - (November. 16, 2009) - The New Jersey Technology Council is gearing up to honor the most exciting technologists in the region at the 2009 NJTC Gala Awards set for tomorrow, Tuesday, Nov. 17, at the Palace at Somerset.
This annual black tie awards dinner is sure to attract the region's most exciting innovators and thought-leaders. In fact, despite the sluggish economy, the NJTC reports an ever-expanding guest list. There is still time to register to attend this event, which is often called "the best networking gala of the year!" Visit www.njtc.org or call 856-787-9700. (Pre-registration is required. No walk-ins will be accepted.)
This annual event recognizes the "Best in Technology" companies as well as educational and technology support leaders. The gala honors companies, an educational institution and one individual for their commitment to innovation and the technology communities of New Jersey.
"This is my favorite event of the entire year because we are able to celebrate not only New Jersey's best and brightest technology stars but we also take a moment to recognize the wondrous innovations that have been discovered right here in our own backyard," said Maxine Ballen, president and CEO of the NJTC. "This is one party that is not to be missed!"
For the second year in a row, the NJTC will also recognize five "Companies to Watch." These include: 3D Biotek, LLC, Agilence, Inc., BookSwim Corporation, Gotham Analytics, and iSpeech.
The NJTC Gala Awards is held annually to publicly recognize and celebrate some of New Jersey's most successful companies and their commitment to growing innovation in New Jersey. The event is hosted by the NJTC with support from several key sponsors.
