J-TEC Associates, Inc.

J-TEC Associates, Inc. was founded in 1968 and provides vortex flow meters and sensors for military, industrial, automotive, and mining applications. J-TEC Associates’ patented and proven flow measurement technology was applied to sensing crosswind for the tank fire control systems in the early 1980s. The crosswind sensors developed and manufactured by J-TEC nearly 40 years ago use a vortex sensing method that is immune to dust and moisture, which are prevalent in a battlefield environment.

Through a high-energy format similar to a late-night talk show, returning hosts, Clare Duffy and Eric Hanson of Z102.9, will entertain attendees with the help of musical acts and a house band.
