Join us for MTech Connect 2026: Innovation for the Public Good, a professional development and community-building event sponsored by the Michigan Technology Community. This dynamic, future-focused gathering brings together technology professionals from across the Ann Arbor, Dearborn, Flint, and Michigan Medicine campuses for a full day dedicated to exploring how technology, collaboration, and innovation can advance the public good within higher education and beyond.
Building on the success and tradition of previous MTech events and symposia, MTech Connect 2026 will highlight the ways U-M technology professionals are using emerging tools, thoughtful design, data, infrastructure, accessibility practices, cybersecurity, AI, and digital services to improve experiences, solve complex problems, and create meaningful impact for students, faculty, staff, patients, and the broader community.
The event will feature interactive sessions, poster presentations, keynote remarks, and networking opportunities designed to encourage the exchange of ideas, resources, lessons learned, and success stories. Participants will have opportunities to explore how technology can support mission-driven work, strengthen institutional collaboration, and help create more inclusive, sustainable, and effective services across U-M. Attendees will leave with new connections, practical strategies, and inspiration for applying innovation in ways that serve people, strengthen communities, and support U-M’s public mission.
