Long Live Rock 'n' Roll! Opening Reception Set for Cleveland's Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
NorTech is inviting all SSTI conference attendees to an opening reception at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Tuesday, Oct. 14, from 7 p.m. to 11 p.m. Just like the music it pays homage to, inside and out, the Rock Hall exudes coolness. From the adventurously wide-open architecture and eye-popping displays to the sing-along soundtrack of continuously streaming rock and roll hits, this is one museum experience that really gets your heart pumping.
Adding to the excitement, Lt. Gov. Lee Fisher, director of the Ohio Department of Development, will provide brief remarks on the importance of state government investments in technology-based economic development (TBED) and Ohio’s model for investing in TBED, including the $1.6 billion Ohio Third Frontier project. Lt. Gov. Fisher also will highlight Ohio’s Thomas Edison Program, which is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year, and address how the Ohio Third Frontier and Edison programs have helped the state evolve a broader set of TBED strategies and programs to move Ohio’s economy forward.
And yes, there's more. This celebratory event provides a wonderful pre-conference opportunity to reconnect with colleagues and network with conference attendees, speakers and our local hosts. Mingle over spirits, light music and delicious cuisine. Attendees are invited to take a self-guided tour of the entire museum that will stay open until 11 p.m.
