About this event

Join Sovran for a welcoming technology summit built for people who want to feel more confident about the future.
On September 9, the Sovran Summit will bring together Twin Cities business and technology leaders for a practical day of learning and conversation. The goal is simple: make business technology decisions clearer, more approachable, and easier to act on.
The program will explore a broad mix of topics, including Microsoft, Lenovo, modern IT, cybersecurity, practical AI, compliance, business continuity, and technology planning. Some sessions will go deeper into technical subjects. Others will focus on leadership, operations, risk, and decision-making. You don’t need a technical title or background to take part.
Between sessions, you’ll have time to talk with speakers, event partners, and other attendees who are working through similar decisions. Bring your questions, compare notes, and make new connections with people from across the Twin Cities business and technology community.
You’ll leave with ideas you can bring back to your organization, clearer questions to ask, and a stronger sense of where technology can take you next.
