What have we been doing this fall? Focusing on technology, tech-based business creation, and helping to create the future Valley workforce!

The Shenandoah Valley Technology Council has worked hard this fall to help GROW the Valley’s future tech workforce, help CREATE new tech-based businesses, and connect grant seekers/ researchers with those that have the resources. We’re strengthening the tech “fabric” of the Shenandoah Valley. We’ve had a blast facilitating and engaging with these endeavors.
Sometimes we’re asked, “What do you do” – so here’s a recap of the fall 2018 activities. Many of them are annual events and you may want to participate next year, as an attendee or sponsor. (For example, a sponsorship enabled us to award 4 iPads to the winning team at Techsters, pictured above.)
We’d also like to like to thank our members for supporting us. With your support, via your membership, we’re able to continue hosting events like the ones below (plus fun outings to places like the crash test track in Ruckersville). Thank you!
