Awarding Innovative Valley Businesses, Educators, Leaders, and Entrepreneurs

Once a year, the Shenandoah Valley Technology Council highlights local tech innovation. We celebrate the successes of technology firms, organizations and programs in the region — and the entrepreneurs, innovators, leaders, and educators behind those successes. This is the council’s biggest to-do of the year. At this premier dinner, the networking opportunities are unparalleled. Tech Nite is the largest annual technology event in the Valley

Largest SVTC Event Of The Year: May 5, 2020

During Tech Nite, approx. 275 attendees honor and recognize the technology innovators of the area. This recognition helps organizations and individuals immensely — the winning organization is able to expand its network, attract employees, and obtain publicity inside and often outside of the local region. Tech Nite allows attendees to witness the successes and innovative progression of the Shenandoah Valley. We encourage everyone to attend, network with others, and celebrate the innovative companies, organizations, educators, and leaders in our area.

2019 Keynote Speaker: David Hofert

In 2017, autonomous cars were just around the corner. In 2018 autonomy got a bit cooler and more of a silence descended on the space. In 2019 almost everyone talks about 2022 or beyond for autonomous vehicles. So, what happened in just 2 short years? Has Winter arrived, or is this just a cold spell?

David Hofert from Perrone Robotics joined us on April 29th to present “Winter is Coming: The Game of Autonomous Vehicles.”
