The Technology Leaders of the Delaware Valley (TLDV) recently marked a significant milestone with its 18th Annual Dinner Meeting, held at Joe Italiano’s Maplewood in Moorestown, New Jersey. The occasion reflected nearly two decades of consistent monthly meetings and a community built on a simple but powerful belief—business is personal, and relationships matter.
A Community Built on Experience, Not Sponsorships
For almost eighteen years, Technology Leaders of the Delaware Valley has met every month without sponsorships and without membership fees. The group was created to provide a trusted forum for technology executives, founders, and business leaders to learn from one another through real-world experience.
Building a company is hard. Building a technology company comes with its own unique challenges—from scaling teams and navigating rapid change to managing risk and preparing for exits. Leadership can often feel lonely at the top. TLDV exists to address that reality by bringing together leaders who are actively in the trenches, as well as those who have successfully built and exited companies.
Why Members Keep Coming Back
What members consistently say is simple: they learn, and they enjoy it.
Discussions within the group are candid, practical, and grounded in firsthand operating experience. There are no sales pitches and no scripted presentations—just honest conversations among peers who understand the pressures and responsibilities of leadership.
Over time, those conversations turn into trusted relationships. And those relationships often lead to:
-
New business opportunities
-
Strategic partnerships
-
Better decision-making
-
Long-term professional growth
This is a community where leaders invest in relationships because they matter—personally and professionally.
Looking Ahead
Technology Leaders of the Delaware Valley remains committed to its founding principles: authenticity, experience-sharing, and relationship-driven growth. As the group moves forward, the focus remains the same—supporting technology leaders as they navigate challenges, grow as executives, and build meaningful connections that last.
Business is personal. And when leaders invest in relationships, everyone grows.
