About

SoTeC (Southland Technology Conference and Vendor Showcase) is the conference put on by IT Professionals for IT Professionals! We are a coalition of project management, software quality assurance, and IT professional organizations working together to create a forum of interest to all IT professionals at all points of the systems development life cycle, from project conception through development, testing and into project closeout.

This year's theme, Capturing the Summit - Expanding Knowledge - Achieving Goals

will equip you to "capture the summit" of your own organization. You will learn how to be a creative thinker, and how to leverage best practices in technology, project and quality management.

• Disruptive technologies – every so often, technological innovation, product, or service that quickly overturns the existing dominant technology or product in the market. Examples: Internet, iPods, cell phones, PCs, wireless, digital. What’s next?
