President's Report
From the Desk of Nick Corcoran, President – InfoTech WNY
As we celebrate 25 years of the BETAS, I want to take a moment to reflect on how far Western New York’s tech community has come — and how much further we can go, together.
What started as a small group of passionate technologists has grown into a thriving, collaborative network of innovators, leaders, educators, and entrepreneurs. The BETAS is more than an awards show — it’s a reflection of the progress we’ve made and a catalyst for the connections, recognition, and support that move this region forward.
This year’s event will be our biggest yet, and we hope you’ll be a part of it — by nominating a colleague, joining us as a sponsor, or simply showing up to celebrate with us. It’s a reminder that building a strong tech ecosystem doesn’t happen overnight — it happens because of people like you who continue to show up, invest, and share your time and talent.
Thank you for being part of this community. Here’s to 25 years of momentum — and to the next chapter of growth in Western New York tech.
Nick Corcoran
President, InfoTech WNY
