ITA is committed to accelerating the growth of the local technology industry, and in particular, our Member Companies.
From meeting space at TechNexus, Chicago's original tech incubator, to expert advice in a wide variety of frameworks, ITA acceleration programs help grow businesses.
ITA Acceleration Programs include:
TechNexus: Developed by local entrepreneurs in partnership with the Illinois Technology Association (ITA), TechNexus is a 22K sq ft clubhouse for the Illinois technology community that is part co-working space, part incubator, part conference and training center. ITA Member companies have access to TechNexus huddle rooms, hoteling space, and more. CollaborationPoint: Sometimes it’s not enough to be part of a group, you need personalized attention. ITA staff works one-on-one with members daily to drive the accelerated growth of companies, providing the connections, advice and promotion they need to drive market strategies and revenue growth.
ITA Scrums: ITA provides custom-constructed 'scrums' to help address the top issues your company faces. Offering a wide-variety of topic areas, from cloud applications to sales and marketing strategies, scrums are available for all ITA member companies. Find out more about the

Roundtables: ITA roundtables are an ongoing peer-to-peer collaboration series designed to help local technology industry companies grow. Roundtables are offered in a variety of areas with new topics covered at every meeting. Check out the
ITA Roundtables.
Industry Events and Speakers: ITA agrees that, well, two heads are better than one! So, to maximize the opportunity to learn from others experiences, ITA offers a variety of events and programs featuring industry leaders, serial entrepreneurs, and topical experts. See the upcoming
Events and let us know if you have any suggestions.
GROW Dinners: Rather than just bringing people together over drinks and appetizers, ITA GROW events identify a topic that is timely to the community and invites participants–exclusively founders and CEOs of Internet and software companies and vice presidents at the large public Internet and software companies–based on how relevant they are to the discussion. An ITA Member Company only event, think of
GROW events as a leapfrog learning event!
