NCET

Please plan to join us at The Glenn Group on December 2 for NCET’s Tech Tuesday, Greater Reno-Tahoe’s premier technology and entrepreneurial networking event.   

Come and see why The Glenn Group was recently recognized as one of top four “Best Green Buildings” in the Reno News & Review readers poll. By renovating with an environmentally friendly design and materials, The Glenn Group is working to achieve a coveted LEED silver certification from the U.S. Green Building Council.

With offices in Reno and Las Vegas, The Glenn Group is Nevada’s third largest marketing communications firm. Recently, The Glenn Group’s Reno office went through a major renovation. With the idea of “going green” in mind, The Glenn Group worked to create a vibrant, energy-efficient workplace.  From the inside, out, environmentally-conscious products have become integral, cost-effective components of the renovated office building.  Clear and frosted glass walls work to attract daylight, while state-of-the-art occupancy sensor lighting controls the amount and duration of light emitted by the new, luminescent fixtures. And, much, much more!

Server Technology Inc., which manufactures equipment cabinet power distribution, has created a niche on the world stage from its Reno base of operation. Supplying its product to major corporate clients such as Wells Fargo, Yahoo and Goldman Sachs, the company in 2000 moved to Northern Nevada from Sunnyvale, Calif., because the landlord at its 10,000-square-foot facility was going to raise the rent 500 percent.

Server Technology brought 30 of its 33 employees along and built a 30,000-square-foot facility in south Reno to suit its needs.

“We were able to build something that better matched our expectations of what our company was capable of,” said founder and CEO Carrel Ewing, who is an engineer.

Server Technology was recently named “Technology Company of the Year” at the inaugural NCET Awards.

When Gathering Genius formed in 2006, its founders — supporters of encouraging Nevada’s student participation in the sciences — hoped to bid on bringing an international science fair to the state someday.The process, similar to bidding on the Olympics, was expected to take several attempts, but Nevada lucked out on its first try.

On Tuesday, representatives from the academic community, government officials, business leaders and members of the media convened at Desert Research Institute for a reception to kick off the 2009 Intel International Science and Engineering Fair, which will take place May 10-16, 2009 at the Reno-Sparks Convention Center. NCET is a proud sponsor of the fair.

The event, which will bring more than 1,600 of the world’s brightest high school students to Reno, is an impressive undertaking. Approximately 6,000 visitors are expected to attend, bringing with them an estimated $6.6 million in tourism dollars, according to the Reno Sparks Convention and Visitors Authority. Supporting the event will be more than 1,000 judges, 500 volunteers and 150 interpreters. Read full story:
