The Technology Awards showcase the progress and recognize the accomplishments and significant contributions of the state's technology sectors over the past year and present awards to Maine's top technology companies. This event allows TechMaine the opportunity to highlight outstanding achievements and success stories from technology firms across the state.
We are especially pleased this year to announce the Governor's Award for Technology Company of the Year.
Join us and our special guest Tom DeMarco as the Master of Ceremony for this year's Technology Awards Gala. Tom is a Principal of the Atlantic Systems Guild, and a Fellow of the Cutter Consortium. He was the winner of the 1986 Warnier Prize for "lifetime contribution to the field of computing," and the 1999 Stevens Award for "contribution to the methods of software development."
Along with the other members of The Atlantic Systems Guild, Tom has written a 2008 book on patterns of behavior observed when groups of technical workers join together to take on a substantial task. The book is called: Adrenaline Junkies and Template Zombies: Understanding Patterns of Project Behavior.
The 2008 Technology Awards Gala will be held Tuesday, May 20. The Gala features heavy hors d’oeuvres and a cash bar plus exceptional networking opportunities.
