"The impact of the technology community becomes apparent when you gather all of these talented people in one room to celebrate not only business success but a conscience effort to better the community around us," said Shawn Osborne, President & CEO of TechAmerica.

The David Packard Medal, named after Hewlett-Packard co-founder, began in 1959 to recognize lifetime contributors and pioneers in what was then a very young high tech industry with very few that would have qualified for a "lifetime" achievement.
