The HTG program and peer group meetings bring together the best technology partners from across the United States, Canada, and United Kingdom.

“Our members and leadership team have brought HTG to a new level in terms of value, execution, and opportunity. The peer group model helps our members deal with challenging economic times. Our recent meeting produced a number of firsts that we can build on going forward into 2009,” said Arlin Sorensen, founder of HTG.

Heartland Tech Groups were founded by Arlin Sorensen in 2001 to bring Iowa-based IT partners together to leverage each other’s talents following the post-dotcom downturn.√dž Over the years, HTG has grown from a purchasing group to a serious group of business owners, sales professionals, marketing managers, and senior management of IT firms in non-competing geographies who meet for two days each quarter to work on key businesses issues and opportunities for growth.

HTG member firms focus on execution and holding other members accountable for business commitments and achieving goals. For more information and to apply for membership as an HTG member, visit http://www.htgmembers.com. Groups are forming now.
