The Lightning Jar was invited to give a presentation at the 2016 Tech Jam.  The format was Lightning Talks, 5-7 minute presentations by leaders in technology and innovation from throughout Vermont.  It was a very dynamic and well-attended event, and we're pleased to have been nominated for the Ambassador Award, a strong statement about the strong work that The Lightning Jar is doing in Southern Vermont.
