OCRI’s Tech Rocks is an annual event that allows Ottawa’s technology workers to have fun, celebrate their corporate pride and show off skills that have little to do with computer programs, telecom switches or integrated circuit boards. Starting in April 2008, 'house' bands from local technology companies will compete in a weekly battle of the bands. In addition to the winning bands selected by the judging panel at each session, this year's finalists will also include a wildcard band determined through online voting.
