With new leadership at the top, Digital Rochester has plans to expand its programs beyond networking events to focus on collaboration with local groups in the technology industry.
Joshua Bouk said that since taking over the presidency three months ago, he has spent much of his time meeting with local groups and community leaders to find out where opportunities to collaborate might exist. As these partnerships grow, so will Digital Rochester’s efforts to communicate its plans and reach out to the community, Bouk said.
When it was founded in 2000, Digital Rochester functioned mainly as a way for those involved in the area’s technology community to share successful ventures and network. In the last nine years it has grown to 5,300 members and is the largest technology community in the state, Bouk said.
“Whereas historically Digital Rochester focused on events and communications that were Digital Rochester-specific, we see our role now as an enabler of the overall technology industry,” Bouk said. “We have a new communication strategy that will heavily involve social media and a new Web site and newsletter.”
