Hello Growth Professionals,
Goodbye 2020. Hello 2021! What a year.
We pushed ourselves to our limits, relied on community and each other, both professionally and personally. We tested our resilience and here we are. I am grateful to this community and to each of you.
Much like you, MassTLC quickly pivoted to support our members and the tech ecosystem to be a place where you can grow, trust and connect. Our 2021 plans for this community will continue to engage each of you for professional development, networking, and content sharing.
We had a very full fall, and it was my pleasure to meet and collaborate with many members in this community. On November 12th, MassTLC announced our Tech Top 50. Congratulations to Growth community members Akamai Technologies, LogMeIn, and Mimecast.
We are planning for a very busy 2021. We will continue to provide gatherings and connections through virtual forums that address challenges and hurdles that have evolved for each of you.
I look forward to growing with you as we recreate, innovate, and grow in 2021.
Warm Regards and Stay Well.

Three Tech Trends That Will Continue To Evolve In 2021: The Covid-19 pandemic has been unprecedented in so many ways.

Why You Need a 3D Market Strategy: When businesses reopen following the COVID-19 shutdowns, they'll have to adjust to new realities.
