STC had a fun start to Memorial Day Weekend at cyber happy hour with DTG and Zafran, held at Wire Road Brewing!

Really appreciate both teams for making this event happen and for their continued support of the Springfield Tech Community. You may have seen them in the exhibitor hall at STC Squared and many of you likely recognize Brian McClure from DTG, who's been a familiar face and part of the cyber series in the past.

The rain held off just long enough for us to enjoy great conversations, delicious BBQ, and even Donk Toss! Thank you to everyone who shared photos on socials, we grabbed a few to highlight here. We love seeing the community show up and engage!

Keep an eye out for more from DTG throughout 2026 as our Cyber Community Series Sponsor.

STC volunteer Matthew Stublefield explores in the recent Springfield Business Journal column what the shift toward AI‑driven organizations means for decision‑makers, and why asking “who benefits?” matters more than ever. Thanks to Matt for sharing his insight!

Opinion: Before you adopt the tool, ask who built it - Springfield Business Journal Guest columnist Matthew Stublefield writes that we all need power literacy – the discernment to ask who benefits from a tech announcement, product pitch or AI-generated answer.
