Where Idaho's Two Biggest Industries Meet
From autonomous systems in the field to AI-powered food innovation, Idaho is at the center of a transformation that will reshape how we grow, process, and deliver food.
The State of Technology: ITC Annual Conference brings together the leaders driving that change — from the fields to the boardroom — for a conversation that is equal parts candid, consequential, and forward-looking.
Every attendee walks away with something tangible: the inaugural Idaho Tech Economy Report, a first-of-its-kind statewide resource combining deal flow intelligence and workforce data into a single snapshot of where Idaho's economy is headed.
The Idaho Tech Economy Report
Every attendee receives the inaugural edition — deal flow intelligence from Alturas and workforce knowledge from Lightcast's Tech Talent Forecast, combined into one first-of-its-kind statewide snapshot. This is not a recap. It's a resource you'll reference all year.
ITC Member Meeting
with the Board of Trustees
Before the doors open to the public, ITC members and their employees gather with the Board of Trustees for an exclusive pre-conference meeting — a dedicated space to connect with ITC leadership, hear council updates, and weigh in on the direction of Idaho's technology community.
This is your meeting. Come ready to engage.
