More than 200 Penn State University information technology and web professionals gathered June 4-6 on the Penn State Brandywine Media campus for a Tech Pros + Web Pros professional development conference.
The annual conference enables attendees to network and learn more about new and upcoming trends in the technology and web fields.
Each year, a different Commonwealth Campus hosts the conference, which takes place over three days. The conference includes informational breakout sessions, networking sessions with sponsors and colleagues, and two professional dinners.
Kari Williamson from the University Park campus took the lead with the Tech Pros + Web Pros planning.
She is the director of Commonwealth Campuses IT for Penn State.
“Getting away from the day-to-day has helped create an atmosphere where staff can immerse themselves in the learning experience. Helping to lead and facilitate this conference is one of the highlights of my work, and it’s truly a labor of love.”
Justin DiMatteo, director of IT from Penn State Brandywine, noted how much he enjoys getting together with peers each year at Tech Pros + Web Pros.
“Whenever we meet with our peers, there’s an energy and enthusiasm that makes me feel like we can do anything together. This conference is like a firehose of that,” he said.
“In addition, I felt immense pride with our campus staff who helped pull this off; you all made a distinct, positive impression on our counterparts, most of whom were visiting for the first time.”
Tech Pros + Web Pros has been taking place annually for the Penn State IT and web communities since 2010 and is now a much-anticipated event that has seen increasing attendance and interest.
Tech Pros + Web Pros 2026 is slated to be held at Penn State Lehigh Valley.
