===============================================================

HVTechFest is the only Tech Festival and DevFest serving the Hudson Valley region since 2019. We want to get together and explore what's new in technology and what's going on in the workforce development field. We mix tech professionals together to learn from each other, and we mix businesses with techies to discuss opportunities. We aim to entice people to attend in person and expose them to the GDG / Google technical eco-system.
