Last week, MinnesotaCIO had the privilege of hosting the esteemed 2024 Minnesota ORBIE Award finalists for a dinner and reception at The Minneapolis Club.
It was a night filled with connections, laughter, and engaging conversation emphasizing the importance of building relationships within the technology community, and celebrating Minnesota's most notable CIOs and CISOs.
It has been a delight and honor to get to know each of you. Congratulations to all the Minnesota ORBIE Award finalists! We look forward to recognizing your achievements on September 20th. 👏
