Thursday’s TechExpo explores trends

TechExpo 2010, the third annual conference of the Tallahassee Technology Alliance, will take place Thursday with sessions on the future of information technology and trends likely to affect business.

“TechExpo 2010: The Power of 10″ will cover four aspects of IT: cloud computing and virtualization; technology and the economy; social media and communication; and information security and infrastructure, TalTech Chair Chet Hall said. Exhibits are planned as well.

“Our cap is 200 attendees. That’s what we were shooting for when we got started, and we are 10 shy of that,” Hall said Monday regarding expo registrations to date.

The “Power of 10″ theme highlights the year, the start of a new decade, the Interstate 10 corridor and the conference length — precisely 10 hours. TechExpo will be at Tallahassee Community College’s Center for Workforce Development.

Industry veteran and Avocare CEO Lonnie Draper will speak in the morning on how two sectors – health and IT – function as a niche of their own.

Alfredo Sanchez, CEO and chairman of QoS Labs, the software company in Boca Raton, will speak at the luncheon. His topic will be “The Next Web.”
