A ticket was billed as including a full day of educational presentations, panels, roundtables, technology demos, networking with 300+ IT leaders, breakfast, lunch, happy hour, a t-shirt, and swag.
Eric O'Neill, a cybersecurity expert and former FBI counterintelligence operative, was the scheduled keynote speaker.
The summit is designed for IT leaders and operations managers looking to discover the latest products, processes, and strategies while networking with peers facing similar challenges.
IT professionals at regional tech summits usually wear business casual, such as slacks or jeans with a collared shirt, for a day that ran from 8am to 6pm.
It was most useful for IT leaders in the Charlotte area who manage systems, teams and budgets, since one day packed breakout sessions from CrowdStrike, Microsoft, Veeam and Sophos with a large local expo hall, and the $120 ticket was low. Practitioners wanting vendor-neutral depth would find less, because the breakout sessions were presented by sponsors, and buyers outside the region would gain little over a national show.
The Opkalla Tech Summit is regional in scope, focused on the Charlotte IT market, and emphasizes expo floor time alongside curated sessions. Larger national IT conferences offer broader geographic reach but may lack this intimate regional focus.
Yes. The 2025 edition drew 350+ attendees.
