Between the board members and our general membership, we touch a lot of different people. It's just been a message that's been driven into everybody's heads," he said.

Eighteen speakers addressed the participants, over 40 industry companies showcased vendor booths and 14 sponsors were also on hand.

Given Wednesday's turnout, Nolan said momentum will drive toward a bigger event in 2017. "Absolutely, we are thrilled and we fully anticipate a bigger event next year," he said.

"This conference is growing tremendously. We've got a lot of people including CEO's and CTOs walking at our booth. More and more companies are opening up in Jacksonville and we have also received interests from visitors who came from Boston, Atlanta, Houston, Alabama. The Tech Coast Conference isn't a local tech event anymore. We are looking forward to next year's Tech Coast Conference as the footfalls are increasing year by year," he said.
