A new event, Top Tech Trends (and the leaders making it happen) is slated for May 20 at Capital One in Wilmington. The event is presented by the Technology Forum of Delaware.
“Each year, futurists and tech consultants define the global technology trends that are changing the way we live and work. We believe that the Delaware technology community is playing a surprisingly important role in driving these trends,” a release from the Technology Forum stated.
The event is expected to include technology offerings from the University of Delaware, Christiana Care and others. Also appearing at the event will be technology leaders.
The release continued, “We believe that the Delaware technology community is playing a surprisingly important role in driving these trends forward. Delaware area firms are inventing new technologies to enable these trends, others are leveraging new technologies to create new products and services, and still others are making these new technologies accessible to the rest of us in the region.”
Trends to be featured at the downtown Wilmington event include:
– Internet of Things (Wearables and Connected Devices)
– 3D printing and advanced manufacturing
– Clean energy and sustainable technologies
– Applications of technology in retail and banking
– Analytics, big data and cloud computing
– Immersive Content and Game Technology
Members of Tech Forum have identified these technologies and will honor and spotlight innovators in more than 10 trends and introduce more than 30 leaders in our community, many new to the public.

The trends event comes after a successful Idea Challenge in February that drew a crowd of nearly 150.
Idea Challenge teams came up with ideas aimed at improving Wilmington and aiding young, tech-savvy residents moving to the city. The winning entry featured a “Beacon” that would include everything from Wi FI access to video screen information on events at locations in downtown. The Technology Forum holds monthly education, information and networking events.
