TECHCON 2014 was a great success thanks to the SRC students, industry, faculty, and staff that attended this year's event.

Invited speakers provided exciting and varied information for all TECHCON attendees.

Dr. Nido Qubein, President of High Point University, kicked the conference into high gear on Monday morning with his opening keynote presentation on communicating and connecting with others. Ajit Manocha, Strategic Advisor to GLOBALFOUNDRIES, finished Monday evening by addressing students and sharing his experiences during his talk entitled "From Class Room to Clean Room to the Board Room".
