SARASOTA – For the first time since announcing their alignment last December, the Suncoast Technology Forum, the technology association serving Sarasota and Manatee counties, and the Tampa Bay Technology Forum, Central Florida’s largest and most influential technology association, will host a joint event on August 5 in Sarasota.
