We’re excited to announce that Tom Stallings, Global VP of Business Development at HTEC Group, will be giving a talk at the upcoming MnTech Tech Talk organized by Minnesota Technology Association.
About this event
For more than 30 years, the Minnesota Technology Association has helped Minnesota’s technology-driven companies achieve the greatest success by providing them easier access to exceptional talent, dedicated public policy advocates, and a chance to be a part of an innovative, inclusive technology community. This has helped Minnesota technology-driven businesses, professionals, and communities to thrive.
One of the issues Minnesota technology-driven businesses face is the inability to fill roles with available talent — managers are under pressure to produce results and rarely have time to train, mentor, and support young technologists to close these gaps.
The upcoming MnTech Tech Talk named Building Your Future Workforce: How Technology Leaders are Adapting and Investing to Solve the Talent Crisis will delve into this burning issue with an aim to inspire hiring managers and technology leaders into action with new ideas and approaches.
In short “Ted Talk”-style presentations, local technology and talent leaders will share the creative approaches they have employed to secure the skills they need to get the job done, while also addressing the diversity divide. The presentations will be followed by a moderated panel discussion, audience Q&A, and networking.
Time: March 30 | 4:30 to 7:30 pm CST
Venue: University of St. Thomas Schulze Hall (Minneapolis Campus)

About the topic — “The power of unrealistic goals”
Great company growth brings a number of complex challenges requiring companies to get out of their comfort zone and explore different ways to move their own boundaries and achieve something seemingly unachievable. The story of HTEC is the story of setting and achieving unrealistic goals, where people are driven by a common mission – to forego common industry wisdom, shift their mindset and think outside of the box to be able to thrive continuously and make extraordinary impact on the world. In this inaugural “Tech Talk”, Tom will tell a story of how HTEC has grown from a company of 200 hundred to 2000+ employees, and dive deeper into the challenges we had to overcome on this winding road to achieve success.
