On Feb. 25, 2020 – a few weeks before COVID- 19 was declared a national emergency and social distancing became the norm – 100+ tech leaders gathered to celebrate Mardi Gras with the Montana High Tech Business Alliance in Bozeman.

MHTBA hosted 7 tech meetups the night before the Outlook Seminars, many sponsored by generous members like the Montana Chamber of Commerce (Helena), onX maps (Missoula), Cushing Terrell (Bozeman), and Applied Materials (Kalispell).
