CATA or the Capital Area Technology Association exists to support both Users (those professionals involved in the daily use, purchase or maintaining of Voice and Data hardware and software on their organization’s site) and Vendors (those professionals who market Voice and Data hardware and software).

We meet monthly and host meetings that attempt to disseminate knowledge of technology related subjects and economic impact to our area as well as providing an opportunity to network with other IT and Telecom Professionals.

We are primarily from the Tech Valley Area of New York State which is looked upon favorably by many national publications such as Forbes and Inc. Magazines because of low cost of living, wonderful natural resources, multitude of nationally recognized colleges and universities and not the least our base of technology related organizations. Many of these organizations are actively involved in CATA and understand the value of meeting with others in their field of endeavor.

Please visit our Vendor Member Page to view those organizations that support and participate in CATA. We encourage you to visit their web sites and call upon them when you need their services.

I invite you to join CATA and be a regular participant at our meetings.
