With each TVS, Keller Schroeder collaborates with key vendor partners from the industry’s leading technology companies to bring knowledge, networking, and new ideas. The event features the largest gathering of both tech pros and solution providers in the Evansville area.

During the TVS, attendees have the opportunity to connect with like-minded IT employees from a wide range of companies from across Indiana, Kentucky, Illinois, and Tennessee – small start-ups to enterprise-level, global organizations in every industry. Breakout sessions and networking booths allow attendees to learn and ask questions directly from our 2023 participating partners and Keller Schroeder’s subject matter experts.

But the TVS isn’t all business. You can count on delicious food, swag, fun prizes, and a Happy Hour celebration to close out the event. Several years ago, we also started incorporating a non-technology-oriented keynote speaker. These are nationally recognized speakers sharing their unique perspective on connection, collaboration, and professional development.

In addition, nearly every Keller Schroeder event offers attendees the opportunity to help us give back to our community. The TVS is no exception and will feature a unique way to partner with us to make a positive impact.
