Explore What the NETech Summit Has to Offer

NETECH (New England Tech Hub) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to advancing technology education, workforce development, and regional collaboration across New England. We connect professionals, students, organizations, and educators through events, learning programs, and community engagement.

The rebrand from MTUG (Maine Technology Users Group) to NETECH reflects our expanded mission and regional focus. While MTUG served Maine for over 30 years, NETECH builds on that foundation to serve the broader New England tech ecosystem, with a stronger emphasis on education, inclusion, and collaboration.

Anyone with an interest in technology is welcome to join — including professionals, students, educators, business leaders, and public-sector staff. Membership is open to individuals and organizations across all sectors and levels of experience.

• Students: Free
• Individual Members: Free during our first year, then $50 annually
• Organizational Memberships: Coming soon — stay tuned for tiered options based on size and benefits.

We offer a growing range of programs including tech meetups, certification prep courses, webinars, professional development workshops, networking events, and an annual regional conference. Many programs are free or discounted for members.
