For the last three decades, Capital Network Solutions (CNS) has helped Northern California businesses solve their technology problems. However, as the premier Northern California MSP and technology consulting company, our commitment to the Sacramento community doesn’t end at the computer terminal. In addition to providing IT support to local businesses, we also provide charitable support to local nonprofit organizations.

But Sacramento changed a lot in the 30-plus years that we’ve been in business. Our cow town turned into a city on the verge of becoming a tech hub. We built the state-of-the-art Golden 1 Center, probably the most technologically advanced facility in pro sports. Meanwhile, you can see signs and signifiers of the Sacramento region’s growing science and tech credentials all around you.

If you need help managing your business technology needs, contact the IT experts at CNS. However, even if you only want to learn, we’ve still got you covered. Here are some of the top Sacramento science and tech events happening this month. Click the title of each event to get more details on Eventbrite.
