Hear from previous attendees
Your sponsorship gives emerging NM tech professionals free access to TechFest. Here's what last year's attendees had to say.
“TechFest was a fantastic experience that exceeded my expectations. The SXSW-style format worked well, with its flexible structure, multiple tracks, and use of several venues creating a dynamic and engaging atmosphere. This is one of the most valuable local events of the year for emerging tech professionals, and its potential for growth and long-term value is tremendous.”

“The ability to ask questions to people who have a lot of experience in different types of work in software engineering and the software business side was very informative. I really appreciate the ability to connect with people I otherwise wouldn't have met. Thank you for the opportunity.”
Dorian

“It was cool getting a feel for the local tech scene and seeing how people actually network and carry themselves in the industry. I enjoyed attending an event that made me feel part of the community and getting to ask people who were once in my shoes about their journey. It made me more excited to keep going on this path.”
Dylan
CNM Ingenuity Deep Dive
“I was born and raised in Albuquerque, and until last week I really didn't realize there was so much happening in tech in NM. I was ready to freelance or move away to find opportunities. I met a lot of interesting people, discussed working together with two of them, and overall feel more confident about joining the tech industry in NM.”
Kilian

“The Tech Talks were insightful and very, very fun! I got to network with young entrepreneurs, developers, and well-established tech professionals. I felt encouraged in my career pursuits and was inspired hearing everyone's stories. I would highly recommend aspiring tech professionals attend next year.”
Nick
CNM Ingenuity Deep Dive
“It was an incredible learning opportunity and I made some substantive connections, especially with mentors. As someone entering the field a bit later in life and in a more non-traditional manner, the speakers were incredible sources of inspiration and advice. The mentor interviews made me feel more comfortable and prepared.”
