Come one, come all! The big top is rising, and the greatest spectacle in Pittsburgh tech is taking shape! On Thursday, November 13, the 29th Annual Tech 50 Awards will unleash a whirlwind of innovation, imagination, and sheer brilliance under the spotlight. This isn’t just an awards ceremony—it’s a high-octane tech extravaganza where visionaries become ringmasters, local high-flyers soar on the trapeze of possibility, and innovation takes a daring leap through the flaming hoops of disruption.

The 2025 Finalists aren’t just talented, they’re the main event. Expect no smoke and mirrors—only jaw-dropping genius, fearless ambition, and the next wave of tech trailblazers commanding center ring!

This is your annual opportunity to connect with the region's top companies and team members. We have a top-notch celebration lined up and we cannot wait to see you there! Cocktails, dinner, awards, and networking make Tech 50 a must-attend event for you and your whole team.
