The 'Softec Moment'

Softec offers an arena for members to connect with each other on a regular basis in hopes of creating that 'Softec Moment' as coined by long time member Fred Dyste.  'Softec Moments' connect knowledge seekers with educators, job candidates with employment opportunities, and the idea guys with the money guys.  'Softec Moments' make things happen!

Connecting people, ideas, and resources has been the goal of Softec since its inception.  Softec will continue to focus on its objective of fostering opportunities for the tech industry on the Central Coast for years to come.
