The Tech Community Coalition Awards were created to honor those members of the Columbus tech community, both organizations and individuals, who have had a “transformational” effect on our community. It is because of their service and commitment that our amazing community exists.
Without further ado, we’d like to acknowledge and celebrate the inaugural winners as announced at the 2020 Columbus Tech Community Holiday Celebration.
