Beyond individual events, the Mass Technology Leadership Council offers specialized professional development and visibility programs for the entire technology community. These programs leverage our network of experts to help individuals and companies reach the next level.
MTLC Programs
The Award-winning Board Ready Bootcamp provides leaders from underrepresented groups with a high impact curriculum on board fundamentals, strategy, and governance. Participants walk away with the tools and connections they need to advance their board journey.
The MA Tech Leadership Awards celebrate the region’s technology companies, leaders, and innovations that have made a significant impact over the previous 12 months. This is a powerful means to showcase your company’s excellence.
Tech Hot Topic Series
The MTLC Tech Hot Topics Conference Series brings technology leaders together to dive into specific technologies that are essential to the operation of tech organizations. Each conference focuses on a trend that these organizations are facing and are designed to share real use cases for attendees to take back and implement while also making valuable connections.
MTLC’s Innovation unConference is an annual, participant-led gathering for Massachusetts technology leaders—not a conventional conference with a preset program. The people in the room build the agenda live, then hold candid, peer-driven discussions on the issues most urgent to them that day.
The event opens with the full group together. A facilitator invites attendees to propose discussion topics, helps turn those ideas into a schedule, and then participants choose the sessions that are most relevant to them. There are no formal keynote-style speakers, company pitches, or sales presentations.
Sessions are designed for exchange rather than presentation: people bring questions, experiences, challenges, and practical insight. Longer breaks also make room for substantive networking and conversations beyond the scheduled sessions.
Leadership Peer Groups
Strictly for the C-suite: Join fellow tech leaders in collaborative, function-specific discussions to work through solutions for your biggest business challenges.
Tech Runs Boston is MTLC’s early-career professional community, created to help emerging talent build relationships, learn practical career skills, and find their footing in the Massachusetts technology ecosystem. Through events, mentoring connections, networking, and social-impact opportunities, the program links young technologists and aspiring professionals with established industry leaders and peers. Its programming addresses timely career issues—from navigating the tech stack and recruiting process to mentorship, AI-driven change, financial literacy, and purposeful upskilling—while being guided by a board of rising leaders from Boston’s tech community.
MTLC’s Professional Women’s Community is a cross-functional peer network for professionals at every career stage who want to advance gender equity in technology. Through expert-led programs, interactive discussions, and relationship-building opportunities, the community brings together women and male allies to share practical approaches to mentorship, career advancement and retention, inclusive workplace strategy, ERG development, executive sponsorship, and leadership buy-in—helping organizations close the gender gap while enabling individual members to grow their influence and networks.
