About Tech 50
The Pittsburgh Technology Council's Tech 50 Awards honors technology innovation in our region. At the virtual event, we will take a deeper dive into the Finalist companies and CEO of the Year Finalists to learn what makes them successful and see how they have exemplified the 2020 event theme: REDEFINE. RECHARGE.

Awards Program
At the awards program—now virtual for 2020 and free for PTC Members—we hope you will join us as we showcase each Finalist company (nine categories) and all CEO Finalists (one category) before announcing Category Winners for each. After the program, you are invited to stick around for some post-event virtual networking! With unlimited event registrations available, we cannot wait to celebrate with you and your whole team!
