Returning to Wilmington for the second year, Techno East celebrated its anniversary edition with special events, including its first Capture the Flag competition, Scavenger Hunt in the exhibit hall, and full day hands-on workshops.
The event continued the celebration with a backyard “Family BBQ” themed party on the back lawn of the convention center, featuring live music from one of Wilmington’s own and lawn games for all attendees and sponsors to enjoy.
“We consider our attendees and sponsors part of our Techno Family” says Jennifer Salvadori, Event Director, Techno Security & Digital Forensics. “Some of our sponsors and attendees have been with us for all 25 years so it felt like the perfect way to celebrate.”
