A tremendous amount of excitement was generated in DFW at Aidmatrix’ Digital Ball Founders’ Dinner at Las Colinas Country Club on Thursday, October 20, 2011. The event was the introduction of the Digital Ball to Texas and some of DFW's most elite technology innovators and thought leaders gathered to lay the groundwork for the 2012 Inaugural DFW Digital Ball. Key corporate sponsors were recognized at the event including Derse, supporting at the $10,000 level, as well as Michael McGrath, Mary Elizabeth McNeely of McNeely Technology Solutions and Sam and Judy Smart, who also were high dollar supporters.
Founding Members will be engaging with Aidmatrix as well as with technology and other corporate leaders to launch the DFW Digital Ball in 2012, an event modeled after the successful events that have been in place in Atlanta, GA and Charlotte, NC for many years.

- Welcome and Aidmatrix Overview by Aidmatrix President and CEO, Gov. Scott McCallum
