Celebrating the people shaping Idaho's next generation of innovators!

At the 2026 Idaho Technology Council Hall of Fame & Idavation™ Awards, we had the opportunity to recognize individuals and organizations making a meaningful impact on STEM education across Idaho.

The Sawtooth STEM Awards presented by the Idaho STEM Action Foundation recognize those who are inspiring students, creating opportunities, and helping build a stronger future for Idaho's technology workforce.

Their work today is helping shape tomorrow's innovators, problem-solvers, and industry leaders.

We're excited to share this moment from the Hall of Fame Gala with our community!

We see the impact of new technology across nearly every part of our lives, including how healthcare is delivered. Senator Mike Crapo was a leader on getting the passed, bringing groundbreaking cancer tests within reach once approved by the FDA. We look forward to implementation so members of our community can benefit!

A big thank you to the Coeur d’Alene Press for highlighting our iTECH Summit Inland Northwest!

Some of the best conversations happen after an event, when people take the ideas and connections made in the room and keep them going. Seeing those discussions reach beyond the summit reminds us why bringing our tech community together matters.

We’re grateful to everyone who helped make this event possible, and we can’t wait to see what next year has in store!

If you’re looking for practical tools to help grow your business, this is one worth putting on your calendar.

Our friends and partners at the Idaho Technology Council are hosting a FREE Verizon Small Business Digital Ready workshop on October 7 at JUMP Boise.

And here’s one of the biggest reasons we want VEA members to pay attention:

Verizon Small Business Digital Ready is the platform Verizon uses to provide access to its small business grant opportunities. So if applying for future Verizon small business grants is on your radar, getting registered on the platform and understanding how it works is an important first step.

The platform also gives small business owners access to free courses, expert guidance, networking, business tools, and other resources designed to help businesses grow. Verizon says more than $15 million in small business grants has been awarded through the program since 2021. (Verizon)

At the workshop, you’ll get:

• A guided walkthrough of the Small Business Digital Ready platform
• Practical, hands-on workshop time
• Access to experts who can answer real business questions
• Information about the platform’s resources and grant opportunities
• Networking with other Idaho entrepreneurs and business leaders
• Free lunch, which never hurts

📅 October 7
⏰ 11:00 AM–1:00 PM
📍 JUMP Boise, 1000 W. Myrtle St.
💰 Free to attend
🍽️ Lunch included
✅ Registration required

VEA members, this is exactly the kind of free resource we want you taking advantage of. Even if you’re primarily interested in future Verizon grant opportunities, this workshop gives you a chance to get familiar with the platform before you need it.

Two hours, useful business tools, new connections, a better understanding of the Verizon grant pathway, and lunch. Pretty solid return on investment.

Thanks to the Idaho Technology Council and Verizon for bringing this opportunity to Boise.

Technology is shaping the future of the Inland Northwest — and Intermax Networks orks has been helping build the infrastructure behind that future for more than two decades.

The Idaho Technology Council and the Coeur d'Alene Regional Chamber are proud to recognize Intermax Networks as the Title Sponsor of the 2026 iTECH Summit Inland Northwest.

Headquartered in Coeur d’Alene, Intermax provides connectivity, managed IT, cybersecurity, and technology solutions to businesses and communities across the region.

We’re grateful for the leadership and support of Founder Steve Meyer, President & CEO Mike Kennedy, Chief Marketing Officer Drew Meyer, and the entire Intermax team in helping bring iTECH to the Inland Northwest.

That leadership will also be represented on stage as Drew shares a look at the “State of AI for North Idaho Businesses” — bringing a regional perspective to one of the most important technology conversations facing businesses today.
