TechOlympics is an information technology (IT) conference for high school students. It connects students with IT professionals and with companies in order to promote the field of IT. The conference was originally held at the Millennium Hotel from 2010–2019, until it was moved to the Great American Ball Park in 2020. The conference went virtual in 2021 and remained virtual in 2022 due to the global pandemic.[1][2][3] In 2023, TechOlympics returned to the Great American Ball Park. The 2024 conference changed the venue again to the Procter & Gamble Global Headquarters in Cincinnati, where it will remain for TechOlympics 2025.[4] The event is run by the INTERalliance of Greater Cincinnati, a non-profit organization seeking to empower students through a robust knowledge of IT. Colleges and other organizations are present at the event as well. Schools often attend as groups, but individual attendance is also permitted. The conference takes place over the course of one weekend, starting of Friday and going until midday Sunday. The events that take place during the conference fall into one of five categories: a Breakout, a Competition, a Workshop, a Showcase Demonstration, or a Speaker Presentation. However, there are other events that do not fit into one of these categories. Each year, the theme of the conference changes, and as such, so do the Breakouts and competitions offered, as well as the speakers presenting.[5][6][7][8]
