Why Sponsor TechBridge's Digital Ball? "Microsoft is proud to be affiliated with TechBridge because their work means the opportunity for a better life for thousands of Atlantans,"  says Microsoft's Southeast District General Manager, Kirsten Kliphouse.  "Today's knowledge economy is transforming the global market, and it has become absolutely crucial for all people to have access to technical skills training.  Through TechBridge's innovative programs, our communities will not be left behind in the digital divide, and we applaud TechBridge for these efforts." Sponsorship of the 2006 Digital Ball, sponsored by Accenture, provides a unique opportunity for businesses of all sizes to: - Improve your company's visibility in the crowded technology field - Network with peers in a unique and memorable setting - Develop new business contacts - Entertain and retain your existing customers - Recognize and reward employees - Make a positive impact on the success of nonprofits in our community "The opportunities to network with the 'who's who' in the Atlanta technology community that the Digital Ball affords are second to none," says Steve Moroski, Regional Manager with Oracle's Commercial Technology Division.  "This is a first class event that Oracle looks forward to continuing to support.  After one year of attendance, I knew the Digital Ball was the event of the year to sponsor and decided to raise our sponsorship level.  I view participation in the Digital Ball as an integral part of doing business in Atlanta."
