Consider this your official invitation to bring the jazz hands.

WiTECH Summit is back November 18–19 at Boise Centre, bringing together women from across technology, business, education, entrepreneurship, and leadership — and judging by last year’s crew, we know how to have a little fun while we’re at it.

Come ready to meet new people, exchange ideas, build meaningful connections, learn something new, and celebrate the women helping move technology forward across Idaho.
Whether you're already leading in tech, building your career, exploring what comes next, or simply looking for a community of people doing exciting things — there’s a place for you at WiTECH.

And if your organization wants to be part of the experience, we’re welcoming sponsors who want to connect with, support, and invest in this growing community.

November 18–19, 2026 | Boise Centre
Tech Powered. Women Led. Jazz hands encouraged.

If you did not get a chance to wish Jessica Cafferty, "Happy Birthday" yesterday, now is your chance. She is not just the new board chair at the helm of the Idaho Technology Council, she is also incredibly invested in collaboration over duplication.

We had an amazing meeting with Trailhead, Executive Director, Jacob Grinwis to explore how we can bridge the gap between innovators and investors.

We’re celebrating ITC member Cubby Paperless!

Going paperless was supposed to make things easier. But when every bill or statement lives behind a different website, password, and login, sometimes it just creates a different kind of clutter.

That’s the problem Cubby Paperless set out to solve.

Founded by Gary Stringham, Cubby gives consumers one place to access and organize paperless bills and statements from participating companies—without having to keep track of where everything lives.

For businesses, there’s another side to the equation. Making paperless easier for customers can mean less paper, lower printing and postage costs, and a better overall customer experience.

It’s a simple idea built around a problem a lot of us probably recognize. Going digital should actually make life easier.

We’re glad to have Cubby Paperless, LLC as part of the Idaho Technology Council community and excited to see an Idaho company tackling an everyday problem with technology.

We’re celebrating ITC member Mark Baker Tellez, MSc!

Mark brings a pretty incredible range of experience to our community. Over the course of his career, he’s worked with startups, Fortune 100 companies, and governments across more than 43 countries—building partnerships, bringing new technologies to market, and helping companies find opportunities for growth.

And when we say technology, we mean a little bit of everything.

Mark’s background crosses semiconductors, aerospace and defense, AI, cybersecurity, cloud computing, IoT, renewable energy, advanced manufacturing, and more.

Today, he serves as Vice President of Business Development and Strategy with Software Materials Inc., working at the intersection of UAV technology, artificial intelligence, and business strategy.

One of the things we value most about the ITC community is the experience our members bring to the table and their willingness to connect that experience with what’s happening here in Idaho. Mark brings a unique perspective on where technology has been, where it's headed, and what it takes to turn new ideas into real opportunities.

We’re glad to have you as part of the ITC community, Mark!

The Idaho Technology Council is inviting entrepreneurs, startups, small business owners, and tech professionals to explore our upcoming Digital Masterclass through Verizon Small Business Digital Ready and Rural LISC

There’s another opportunity worth knowing about:

Complete two eligible courses or events through Small Business Digital Ready, and you can become eligible to apply for a chance to receive one of Verizon’s $10,000 small business grants.*

Growing Idaho’s technology community takes strong connections across the entire state.

We’re excited to welcome the Coeur d'Alene Regional Chamber as a new member of the Idaho Technology Council!

The Chamber has long been a connector and champion for the Coeur d’Alene business community, bringing organizations and leaders together to strengthen economic opportunity throughout the region. We’re excited to deepen our relationship and continue building stronger connections between North Idaho and Idaho’s broader technology ecosystem.

We’re already seeing that collaboration in action. This October, ITC will facilitate and host iTECH Summit Inland Northwest at the Coeur d’Alene Resort in partnership with the Coeur d'Alene Regional Chamber—bringing our organizations together around technology, business, and the future of the region.

We’re proud to have the Coeur d’Alene Regional Chamber as part of the ITC community and look forward to growing this partnership well beyond a single event.

If you’re doing business in North Idaho—or want to become more connected to the region—we encourage you to learn more about the Chamber, their work, and the community they serve.

In case you missed it — the workforce revolution is already underway.

On August 20, our Spark Series brought together leaders working directly at the intersection of AI, innovation, and the changing workplace for AI Agents: The Next Workforce Revolution.

The conversation went beyond the hype to explore what AI agents actually mean for the way we work — from managing workflows and completing tasks to supporting decision-making and working alongside people.

A huge thank you to our panelists for sharing their expertise and perspective:
🎙️ Erin-Todd Hansen | Principal Solution Architect, Intuit
🎙️ Ken Brook | Founder, AdPrompt.ai
🎙️ Roger Rowles | Founder, Borah.ai

We’re also excited to welcome Ken and Roger as two of the newest members of the Idaho Technology Council! Seeing new members immediately step into the conversation, share their expertise, and engage with Idaho’s technology community is exactly what ITC is all about.

Missed the live conversation? You can still catch the full episode and hear where AI agents may be taking the workforce next.
