What’s the purpose of TechFest?

- further stimulate enthusiasm in Savannah’s growing creative and tech community
- give the high tech community a large dose of the latest and greatest ventures being explored by our local college students
- provide an environment that is a little more laid back than an intense interview for students to introduce themselves and their know-how to potential employers
- show students they don’t have to leave town to find the jobs they really want
Why should you participate?
