Dive deep and network with tech leaders and entrepreneurs at our Annual Tech Conference.
The DFW metro area has been consistently ranked as one of the fastest-growing tech hubs in the US, and home to an ever increasing number of tech companies: from the original Texas Instruments to startups like Alkami Technology. And it is also home to the USICOC’s extremely popular and often sold-out Annual Tech Conference.
This time the conference will be at the Hilton Granite Park in Plano, TX on May 21, 2026.
Past Keynote Speakers
Last year we were pleased to welcome Matt Creason as one of our keynote speakers. Matt is the co-founder of ShiftKey, a $2 billion healthcare tech platform that connects healthcare facilities with nursing professionals. Matt continues to leverage his experiences and expertise to empower the next generation of innovators and share his firsthand insights.
Our second keynote 2025 speaker was Curtis Hite, CEO of Improving, a global software consulting and training company with 2,000+ employees, 19 offices, and over $280M in revenue — all guided by the principles of Conscious Capitalism. Curtis is a sought-after speaker on leadership, culture, and entrepreneurship, and has been recognized as a “Most Admired CEO” by Dallas Business Journal and is a 3x Finalist, EY Entrepreneur of the year.
