Innovation, Insight, and Connection Take Center Stage at WCA’s Annual Technology Conference

621 attendees. 58 manufacturers. Two days of innovation. One unforgettable keynote.

On Thursday, November 13 and Friday, November 14, 2025, technology professionals from across the Northeast region gathered at Foxwoods Resort Casino for Whalley Computer Associate's highly anticipated annual Technology Conference, bringing together 621 attendees and 58 unique manufacturers for two days of learning, networking, collaboration, and industry-leading insights.

The conference once again proved why it has become a cornerstone event for customers, partners, and technology leaders seeking to stay ahead of a rapidly evolving IT landscape. Attendees had the opportunity to explore emerging technologies, engage directly with leading manufacturers, attend educational sessions, and forge valuable connections with peers and industry experts.

A major highlight of the event was the expansive trade show floor, which featured 58 unique manufacturers showcasing the latest innovations in infrastructure, cybersecurity, cloud solutions, AI, networking, collaboration technologies, and more. The exhibit hall buzzed with activity throughout both days as attendees explored new solutions, participated in live demonstrations, and connected directly with the experts behind the technologies shaping the future of business.



While the educational content and technology showcases delivered significant value, the true strength of the conference was the opportunity it created for meaningful engagement. Customers, partners, and manufacturers came together to exchange ideas, discuss challenges, and uncover opportunities to drive greater business outcomes through technology.

The pinnacle of the event was the keynote presentation from Rebecca Lobo, basketball legend, ESPN analyst, Olympic gold medalist, and Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame inductee. Drawing on experiences from her remarkable athletic and broadcasting career, Lobo delivered an inspiring message centered on leadership, perseverance, teamwork, and achieving excellence under pressure.

Her engaging and authentic presentation resonated deeply with attendees, who walked away with valuable lessons that extended beyond sports and into the workplace. The keynote served as a powerful reminder that success is built on collaboration, resilience, and a commitment to continuous growth, principles that align closely with the values shared throughout the conference.

Whalley Computer Associates extends its sincere gratitude to the 58 manufacturer partners whose participation helped make the conference such a valuable experience for attendees. Their expertise, investment, and commitment to innovation transformed the trade show floor into a hub of discovery and collaboration that reinforced the power of strong partnerships within the technology industry.

We also would like to thank everyone who attended, exhibited, and supported this year's event and looks forward to welcoming customers and partners back for another outstanding conference in the future.
