2025 & Beyond: SSTI's Annual Conference

Why are people registering for SSTI's 2024 conference at a record pace?

It might be the timing of SSTI's conference—one month after a tumultuous election season. It could be our focus of the four plenary sessions being what regional innovation and tech-based economic development needs to look like in the future when you consider other great unknowns like what impact artificial intelligence will have on local economies. 

Or maybe it's the low registration price and our record of delivering 2.5 days of proven, peer-driven and community building content, allowing organizations to see this SSTI event as a strategic planning retreat for their leadership teams to enter 2025 energized and invigorated.

Or it might simply be the mental images one conjures of desert beauty, a resort setting, Arizona winter warmth and you needing a setting for a personal and team refresh. 

Whatever it is, registrations for SSTI's conference are coming in at a truly record pace, and we are already looking at the 2024 premier event for the field to be the largest gathering of our community ever.  We have had to close registration in the past; will this be another one of those occasions?

The election will come. AI, autonomous vehicles and personalized medicine will come. New federal and state 2025-26 funding cycles will come. 

The important question is, will you be at SSTI's conference in December to help your organization and the community prepare to take advantage of what is coming?
