NVTC members continue to inspire me everyday and I look forward to seeing our council drive tech innovation and fuel workforce development."

While the pandemic disrupted the event landscape, NVTC has continued to provide virtual events, content and resources to help businesses pivot and adjust to the new digital era. Additionally, NVTC experienced a 75% increase in both member engagement and the number of annual events offered, including the Masters of Leadership series, the CFO Series, and Let's TalkTech with NVTC. Just last month, the organization partnered with Virginia Tech's Academy of Data Science and launched a new data science speaker series showcasing how data science impacts business operations, government policy and consumer decision making.
