Overview

For almost 40 years, the TechAmerica “AeA Classic” has been the premier financial conference for public technology companies.

  • Unbiased Forum
    Most financial conferences are produced by banks for their own gain. As the non-profit trade association representing the High-Tech Industry, our only goal is to provide a neutral space for technology companies to get the capital they need to keep our industry and country innovative.
  • Private Presentation Rooms
    Instead of presentations to large groups with no opportunity to ask or answer the hard questions, company-to-investor communications occur in private meeting rooms. The average increase in share price of participating companies has been 8% of market cap.
  • Networking Receptions
    C-level technology executives, institutional investors, and analysts will network at two receptions and during hosted meals.
