Three local companies were featured at this year’s CED Tech Venture Conference, held this month in Raleigh.

Conference organizers selected Brilliant Sole, EasyVote Solutions and Performance Culture to show off their technologies in the Demo Room, which included nearly 60 companies that had the opportunity for one-on-one networking.

Brilliant Sole makes a smart sensor- embedded footwear platform targeting players of virtual reality games.

Easy Vote works with more than 150 elections offices in 10 states. “We deployed the Election Management Platform on Microsoft Azure, a cutting-edge cloud hosting platform, relieving our clients of having to configure and deploy software on their own servers,” according to company officials.

And Performance Culture developed a web-based application to serve as an employee performance management system.

The conference, which marked its 33rd year this time, attracts more than 800 attendees ranging from entrepreneurs and investors to corporate leaders.
