"There are tens of thousands of tech industry events, awards and speaking opportunities, and trying to track it all manually is a fool's errand," said Travis Van, Founder of ITDatabase. "TechCalendar combines the most comprehensive indexing of these opportunities with a CRM-style workflow allowing users to find and take advantage of highly relevant opportunities quickly and easily."

TechCalendar features a number of options for tech companies to track events important to their brand: one-click "following" of relevant opportunities, the ability to search, find and track specific consumer and enterprise topics of interest, easy options to follow specific event organizers, and a variety of sharing and exporting tools for easy data integration.

"Trade shows and events play a significant part of every integrated communications and sales strategy," said Leon Harbar, Vice President of Global Trade Shows and Events, Business Wire. "Our goal with TechCalendar was to develop a product so that any communicator tasked with finding and engaging with relevant events within their target market could do so from one platform easily and effectively."
