There is arguably nothing more breathtaking than the beauty of the colorful fall mountains in Western Maryland. Combine the gorgeous landscape with Maryland’s “top tech” climate, as described by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation, and you get the Technology at the Gap: Emerging Trends conference.

Technology at the Gap is a one-day conference for web developers, system admins, network and security specialists, managers, and others in, or around, the IT industry. At this first inaugural event, attendees will hear from engaging and informative speakers and spend time sharing ideas as they soak up the autumn atmosphere.

The keynote speakers – Daniel Gray (FBI Special Agent), Claude Yusti (IBM), and Steven Sanchez (Everyday Agile) – will share their emergent work in the areas of cybersecurity, cognitive computing, and project management.

Guests will also have the opportunity to network with other professionals and vendors as they learn about the latest tools and processes in the industry and how to apply them at the workplace. Find the full lineup on the event website.

The conference is nestled in the mountains of Western Maryland, in the middle of the picturesque Rocky Gap State Park. Rocky Gap Casino Resort is a AAA 4-Diamond Award® and TripAdvisor Certificate of Excellence-winning resort featuring a casino, hotel, spa, and conference center. After the conference wraps up, plan to stay the weekend at Rocky Gap Casino Resort – the perfect spot to enjoy the beauty of the changing seasons.

Technology at the Gap is presented by the Western Maryland IT Center of Excellence.
