Memphis Technology Foundation is pleased to announce we will be partnering with the FedEx Institute of Technology (FIT) to (among many things) help faciliate User Groups in finding meeting space, get the word out to University of Memphis students about our great technology community, and help spread the word about the great events happening at FIT to the #memtech community.

We are pleased to announce that we will be holding the signing ceremony for our community partnerships on <a href="http://www.meetup.com/memphis-technology-user-groups/events/230246864/" target="_blank">April 25th at 4:00 in the FedEx Institute</a>.
