The 2007 Southern Tier Tech Day conference was held on November 20th and it was a huge success.  Nearly 300 students attended this year.  This year's keynote was Chemung County Executive Tom Santuli who advised the students to follow their dreams.  He also pointed out to the crowd that technology is growing in the Southern Tier.  Below is a list of most of the available sessions.  We would like to thank all of the companies that took time out of their day to offer workshops to the student attendees.
