In this episode of the TechRochester Podcast, we sit down with Stephen DeVay to explore the purpose and impact of the TechRochester Greater Rochester Excellence and Achievements in Technology [GREAT] Awards. Devay shares why the awards were created, what they aim to accomplish beyond recognition, how their community driven nomination model engages the full technology ecosystem, and what recent winners reveal about innovation, leadership, and contribution across the region. The conversation also invites listeners to reflect on the value of participation itself, and why recognizing peers and stepping forward to nominate matters to the strength and continuity of Rochester’s technology community.
