"I-ology was founded on the concept of innovation and this event gives everyone the opportunity to recognize the outstanding individuals and companies driving the technology community within Arizona."

The Governor's Celebration of Innovation was established in 2003 by combining two technology award ceremonies: the High Tech Industry Cluster's 17-year student awards ceremony and the Arizona Software and Internet Association's 10-year "Celebration of Innovation". With the addition of the Governor's support over the last two years, the Governor's Celebration of Innovation has become the premier technology community gathering of its kind in Arizona. The inaugural Governor's Celebration of Innovation took place in November 2003 and was a colossal success with over 1,200 in attendance.
