On October 31, over five-hundred high-tech leaders came together for an afternoon luncheon to network and honor the leading companies and executives of our industry at the 15th Annual High Tech Awards in La Jolla. 

I'd like to congratulate all of the winners and the finalists.  Company awards were given for:

• Software

• Internet/Web Commerce

• Computers and Related Products

• Technology/IT Services

• Semiconductors, Industrial & Analytical Instruments

• Communication Products and Services

• Medical Device & Instrumentation

• Clean Technology

• Outstanding Emerging Growth Company (Under $5M annual revenue)

I would also like to thank our corporate sponsors Barney & Barney, CMTC, CB Richard Ellis, Comerica Bank, Deloitte, Procopio, SMS Technologies, TLC Staffing, and United Healthcare; and the Ardell Group for being our PR sponsor.  Without them and our member company volunteers, this event would not have been possible.

Following in the success of this luncheon, AeA San Diego has an active month planned ahead of ourselves with three programs in November.  Events will focus on Supply Chain Development, Designing for going Green, and California state government affairs.  Additionally, from November 2-5 over 300 investors and hundreds of companies from around the U.S. will be participating in the 38th Annual AeA Classic Financial Conference at the Manchester Grand Hyatt in San Diego.

Contact Susana Capulong for more information on these programs or Lauri Keller to get further involved with the AeA San Diego Council at 858.452.9288.
