STEM Education, a Big Winner |

ITPalooza was a great hit with all the Attendees, User Groups and Sponsors. What a fantastic event to end 2012 and pave the way for more exciting South Florida tech community action in 2013. The process of brining ITPalooza to life in just 9 weeks has been both exhausting and exhilarating. While there are many tech events taking place throughout the year, ITPalooza is the only event that showcases the entire South Florida Tech community in one place at one time. A terrific and unique opportunity to network, discover, learn, contribute, share and enjoy.
