ABOUT

TAB (Tech Association of the Bluegrass) was formed by a group of technology companies in Lexington getting together to discuss some of their needs and desires for technology employers in Central Kentucky and concluding that an association should be formed. TAB aims to support and promote software technology among area students and professionals through events, education, and advocacy.

Engage

"Fostering interaction among individuals in our community through networking events and special interest meetups is one of the most important things we can do. It's essential to lifelong learning."


-Randall Stevens, CEO Archvision

Educate

"Today's students have grown up surrounded by technology, and there's this assumption that they're automatically prepared for the jobs of tomorrow. But being able post a status update or turn on an iPad is merely table stakes. Our youth need to know not just how to use technology, but how to CREATE technology. Computer Science, and more broadly Computational Thinking, is the key to so many opportunities for this generation."


-Nick Such, Co-Founder Awesome Inc U

Employ

"TAB can help connect technology companies with qualified local candidates, and as a bonus, strengthen Central Kentucky’s technology sector."


-Liz Caras, Global Recruiting Director, Lexmark International
