The History of the Hall of Fame Gala

From Idaho’s agricultural roots to the International Space Station, the Idaho Technology Council’s annual Hall of Fame gala is the organization’s crescendo event that celebrates iconic Idahoans who have changed the way we work and play. This annual fall event (watch the events page for details) has become a cornerstone for Idaho’s tech ecosystem and is the place to connect and celebrate with other members of the community.
In addition to the Hall of Fame induction ceremony, this event features the Idavation™ Awards sponsored by Scoggin Capital Investment, that highlight and celebrate the game changers and innovators that exemplify Idaho’s entrepreneurial spirit and are currently transforming Idaho’s future. Inductees have been selected from nominations gathered across the state and the winners will be announced live at the event. Be sure to join us live and catch the excitement!
To close out this amazing event, the ITC, along with Idaho STEM Action Center, presents the annual Sawtooth awards to two educators who “create unique opportunities for students to experience the fun and excitement of STEM by integrating real-world experiences and hands-on activities into the classroom.” Along with the physical award, each educator is presented a cash award to further the STEM experience for their students.
