The driving force of Arizona’s tech ecosystem was a gleam with holiday decorations, festive outfits, and warm conversations. The energy was palpable as the Tucson tech community celebrated the closing of 2021 and promising excitement of the new year. The holiday season can so easily be commandeered by fleeting time and consumption! Once again, the Arizona Technology Council managed to pull off an evening where time slowed down, and people enjoyed engaging conversations and cultivated connections.
The Holiday Tech Mixer on December 15th, was the end of the year event and shining spotlight on the power of connection. The sustainability and growth of the Arizona tech ecosystem hinges on our collective ability to lift each other up as we climb the success ladder. Connection of resources within the tech ecosystem is a multiplier and drives the impact of Arizona’s tech industry.
Marcus Engineering is always excited to share in the festivities with our Southern Arizona Technology family!
The event presenter, Alex Rodriguez, CEO of Freefall 5G, unveiled the ground breaking 5G Antenna System that will help accelerate 5G deployment with better data rate communication at a fraction of the size and cost. Alex Rodriguez is a catalyst leader in the tech community and his resounding message at The Holiday Tech Mixer highlighted the collective responsibility of the tech community to continue to support each other and help each other succeed.
Dr. Marcus recently gave a talk to the University of Arizona Biomedical Engineering graduate students and addressed the importance of developing networking skills and building connections. “For a lot of people, the hardest part is showing up! Every time you overcome that hurdle, it gets easier and easier. And every new connection is unlocking doors to future opportunities, whether those opportunities are for you or for the people that you cross paths with.”
We can continue to succeed only for as long as our tech ecosystem can supply the resources, and every member of the tech community has the potential to be a resource multiplier through one connection at a time.
