We love to highlight companies on the Powderkeg stage with 3 companies pitching… but for this event, we’re very excited to be able to highlight the top companies based on their company culture.

Talented employees are the oxygen that is fueling our tech community’s growth. This year’s Tech Census connects your company with Powderkeg’s vast network of tech professionals in the heartland and beyond.

How is Powderkeg doing this? We’re giving professionals exactly what they asked for. Last year’s Tech Census surveyed 1,000+ engineers, marketers, salespeople, product managers, designers and other tech rockstars. We asked them what they’re looking for in an employer, and then used their feedback to prioritize questions within this year’s Tech Census.

We want to give a HUGE thanks to our partners who teamed up with us to bring you the very best at Powderkeg Tech Culture Awards Ceremony.
