The Tech Council of Maryland has been doing some incredible work and will continue to do so. Most recently they battled and won in Repealing a local tech tax in Maryland. Here is a little about the organization:
The Tech Council of Maryland (TCM) is Maryland’s largest technology trade association which brings its 500 plus members access to technology industry leaders in Maryland, DC and Virginia. TCM has two divisions which provide valuable resources and benefits to help businesses succeed. The Tech Alliance serves the advanced technology community and MdBio serves the Maryland biotechnology community.
I have been fortunate enough to come to know some of the poeple over there and they are really working hard to do great things for the Maryland technology space. I got some exciting news the other day of a great event they have planned coming up in early September. The event is called “Growing Your Business Through Social Media” and looks to be a great primer for some local Maryland companies as they stick their toe into the new landscape we find around us.
Here is a little bit about the event
