SwANH is committed to promoting and growing technology and the software industry in New Hampshire. We do this by enabling our members to share ideas and learn from experts and each other. Members benefit in three key ways, which are supported by the programs, events and seminars we schedule throughout the year:
Networking
Talk to peers about the challenges and solutions to finding good employees,
solving development or process issues, finding who provides the best services for accounting, legal, marketing or other businesses that focus around software companies. Throughout the calendar year, we provide events that enable this kind of sharing and collaborating.
Education
SwANH organizes events aimed at informing its members about the latest technology, development processes, best practices in running businesses and more. Seminars and guest speakers are scheduled throughout the state during the year, and our fall InfoXchange software conference attracts technical experts from around the region.
Promotion
The association strives to attract and support software businesses in the State and ensure that New Hampshire remains well known for its technology-based commerce. Many member benefits support this goal.
Specific Benefits
There are many intangible benefits of joining SwANH, but there are also tangible benefits of joining membership:
E-Mail Newsletter
Receive SwANH's weekly e-mail newsletter that broadcasts technology-related news and events around the state, including happenings for other state technology organizations.
Events
Many valuable events take place throughout the state over the course of the year:
Synapse networking events
These events take place twice a year, each at a different venue within the state, and allow you to connect with peers and exchange ideas, challenges and general support. Sales leads and partner matching are common at these events.
Quarterly educational sessions
These two-hour educational sessions focus on one particular topic relevant to members. The format includes a presentation by an area expert followed by a question-and-answer period. Topics generally center around either the business side of running a software company, showcasing what IT companies are doing, or addressing legal, tax, employment or development issues.
InfoXchange
This is the ever-growing annual conference geared towards software and IT professionals, users and business executives. The day includes speaker presentations, panel discussions, and presentation of awards that recognize New Hampshire companies with unique and cutting edge technologies.
Annual Dinner
We fold the official annual members' meeting in with a dinner and networking opportunity for association members. Speakers include the award winners from InfoXchange.
Roundtables
The Software & IT Executives Forum is a group of software and IT presidents, managers, and directors who meet monthly to discuss the challenges of managing software and information technology companies. Sessions are comprised of group discussion on questions posed by participants. Participants are given the opportunity to pose their "issue of the day."
