HAMILTON, Bermuda--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The fourth annual Bermuda Tech Summit, presented by the Bermuda Business Development Agency (BDA), in partnership with government’s Economic Development Department (EDD) and industry association NEXT Bermuda, will be held at the Hamilton Princess & Beach Club from October 26-28.
