Todd Doerr, Mayor Julián Castro, Iñigo Arzac
South Texas makes a huge leap forward. TechCon2011 San Antonio, is the hot place (yes, literally hot with it forcasted to be 104 degrees today) for Texas technology companies to showcase their goods. And of course, GlobalSCAPE is at the conference, heading the way.
The convention focuses on technology manufactured and developed in Texas, but it also recognizes products sold in Texas from around the world. Those products also enrich our lives and businesses and those who sell such technology products are also welcome to exhibit. Exhibitors include GlobalSCAPE, Google, Rackspace, AT&T and Texas Instruments, just to name a few.
The featured speaker today is Mayor Julián Castro. Mayor Castro has made growing business, especially in the tech industry, here in San Antonio a top priority. We look forward to working with the Mayor to be a part of the tremendous growth of technology in San Antonio.

Another huge data breach hits the news and it’s a company that you do business with. You wonder if your information was a part of the breach but you haven’t heard from the company.
