The Arizona Technology
Council, a private, not-for-profit trade association founded to connect,
represent and support the state's expanding technology industry, today announced
the first digital edition of its TechConnect magazine to complement the highly
popular print offering. By combining rich media within a digital publication
that maintains the look and feel of the print magazine, the Council is providing
readers with faster access to articles exploring the emerging trends and issues
in Arizona's high-tech community.
“By using a scalable technology platform that replicates exact copies
of the magazine for electronic distribution and searching, we are expanding
our readership and raising the visibility of our sponsors and advertisers both
locally and internationally,” said Steven G. Zylstra, president and CEO
of the Arizona Technology Council and publisher, TechConnect. “The digital
edition of TechConnect presents another opportunity for Arizona's technology
community to showcase its work and innovations.”
Requiring no special software or “plug-in” downloads, the digital
version ensures that every TechConnect reader has access to a full featured
edition with the same departments, features and vibrant look they have come
to expect. In fact, digital readers will have the experience of turning the
pages of a regular magazine with the added convenience of availability anywhere
they have an internet connection.
The focus of the premiere issue is nanotechnology, giving readers a glimpse
into a field that produces innovations three orders of magnitude smaller than
a human hair with enormous potential impact on the state's economy. The
issue will preview new products that incorporate the use of nanotechnology and
provide insight into the issues surrounding its use and can be viewed at: http://www.techconnect-digital.com/techconnect/2009fall.
